1715-504 – ORACLE Automatic DRL ColorSHIFT Harness

What is the ORACLE 1715-504 DRL ColorSHIFT Harness?

The ORACLE 1715-504 Automatic DRL ColorSHIFT Harness is an innovative wiring solution designed to seamlessly integrate with ORACLE Lighting’s ColorSHIFT halo lights, transforming them into functional, eye-catching daytime running lights (DRLs). This harness is specifically engineered to provide a sophisticated lighting upgrade while maintaining ease of use and compatibility.

Overview

The primary function of the 1715-504 harness is to enable ORACLE ColorSHIFT halo lights to operate as bright, white DRLs during the day. This enhances vehicle visibility and safety. Additionally, it offers the convenience of automatically reverting the lights to a user-selected color when the vehicle is parked or when headlights are activated, providing a customizable and dynamic lighting experience.

Key Features and Benefits of the 1715-504 Harness

Enhanced Visibility

White DRLs significantly improve a vehicle’s visibility to other drivers and pedestrians, especially during daylight hours and in inclement weather. This added visibility reduces the likelihood of accidents by making the vehicle more noticeable on the road.

• Increases vehicle conspicuity, making it easier for other drivers to see your vehicle.
• Improves safety in low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, and overcast days.
• Enhances the overall aesthetic appearance of the vehicle with a modern and functional lighting upgrade.

Automatic Color Change

The automatic color change feature is a key benefit, as it allows users to switch between white DRL mode and a user-selected color (or the factory default) when the headlights are turned on or when the vehicle is parked. This functionality is managed by the harness itself, which detects the activation of the headlights or the vehicle’s parked status and automatically changes the light color accordingly.

• Seamless transition between white DRL mode and custom color settings.
• User-friendly operation, requiring no manual adjustments for color changes.
• Maintains compliance with local regulations regarding headlight colors and usage.

Easy Installation

The ORACLE 1715-504 harness is designed for straightforward installation, allowing users to upgrade their vehicle’s lighting system with minimal effort. The harness comes with pre-wired connectors and clear instructions, making the installation process simple even for those with limited experience in automotive electrical systems.

• Plug-and-play design, reducing the need for cutting or splicing wires.
• Comprehensive installation guide with detailed steps.
• Compatible with a wide range of vehicles, enhancing versatility.
