ORACLE Lighting Launches Heated Oculus Bi-LED Projector Headlights for 2021+ Ford Bronco 

METAIRIE, LA (02.12.25) – ORACLE Lighting, a leader in high-performance automotive lighting solutions, is proud to announce the launch of its latest innovation: the Oculus™ Bi-LED Projector Headlights with Heated Lens for the 2021+ Ford Bronco. This new product is the first and only heated lens option for the Ford Bronco and is designed to address a critical safety concern for Bronco owners driving in cold and snowy conditions. 

LED headlights are highly efficient but do not generate enough heat to melt snow or ice buildup, which can reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents. ORACLE Lighting’s new heated lens technology solves this problem by automatically activating a heating function when temperatures drop near freezing. This prevents ice and snow accumulation, ensuring clear and unobstructed light output for safer driving.

“The Oculus Bi-LED Headlamp system has been one of our best-selling products, and we are thrilled to introduce this new heated lens feature to better serve Bronco owners in colder climates,” said Justin Hartenstein, Founder and Director of Product Development at ORACLE Lighting. “Our goal is always to enhance both safety and performance, and this innovative solution ensures that drivers maintain full visibility even in harsh winter conditions.” 

The heated lens element is designed to seamlessly integrate with the headlight’s aesthetics while maintaining optimal light output. Unlike other heated lights on the market, the heating element does not obstruct illumination. The design complements the inner bezel features for a clean, factory-style appearance. 

 Key Features: 

  • Automatic Heating Function: Activates when ambient temperatures approach freezing and turns off when optimal heating is reached. 
  • Amber Status Indicator: Lights up when the heating function is active. 
  • Advanced LED Projection: Provides 5,200 lumens of high-quality illumination for superior driver visibility in all weather conditions. 
  • Energy Efficient: Offers increased light output while consuming less power than factory-installed lamps. 
  • External Temperature Sensor: Mounted near the grille for accurate temperature readings and optimal performance. 
  • DOT and SAE Compliant – 3rd Party Laboratory Tested for FMVSS and NHTSA Certification 
  • Unique Modular Design allows smaller packaging size for lower shipping costs for the end user 

Designed for seamless installation, the Oculus™ Bi-LED Heated Projector Headlights offer unmatched performance and reliability. ORACLE Lighting continues to push the boundaries of innovation, delivering cutting-edge solutions for automotive enthusiasts worldwide.

The KICKER ArenaCross Was Livin’Loud In The Findlay Toyota Center In Prescott AZ

PRESCOTT VALLEY, AZ (02.10.25) – The Findlay Toyota Center was packed on Friday and Saturday nights February 7 & 8 for Rounds 10 and 11 for the AMA KICKER ArenaCross. The arena area was reconfigured from a hockey rink to a dirt track with mound after mound riders had to navigate as they made their way around the tight track.

The KICKER booth in the arena spotlight a variety of products.

Prior to the race card fans enjoyed meeting riders in the main corridor and checking out their bikes. Then it was time for attendees to walk on the track and over the mounds and tight turns the riders would soon navigate.

Riders had their bikes set up in a large corridor to meet with enthusiast and spotlight their rides.
The stands were packed as attendees watched the riders fly across mounds on the track.

“The pre-race activities started about an hour before racing began. Fans got a chance to walk the track, get to know a little about their favorite riders and how they planned to ride on the tack. This adds time to the length of time Arenacross fans spend at the event. Many fans are in the venue until 10PM. This provides us more time to talk with attendees about products in the KICKER product lineup” related Lorin Morrell-Maddog_Media who orchestrates KICKER activities at the AMA Arenacross events.

Attendees enjoyed walking the track before the racing began.

Once the track walk cleared the track was opened and riders cranked up their bikes and made their ways around the very difficult track circuit where the dirt mounds were barely 5O feet apart. Riders were able to fly over one mound for 50’ and land on the downside to get ready for the next mound. Some riders didn’t have smooth landings and had to adjust their body parts before continuing the racing.

Saturday night Vince Friese was named the AMA ARENACROSS National Champion of the 2024/2025 Series.

KICKER had a booth set up in the lobby with a wide selection of products set up on tables under the tent. AMA ArenaCross attendees are definitely interested in audio products as many enjoy motorcycle, PowerSport, Lifestyle and/or marine activities in addition to their everyday drives. A loaded KICKER RZR was adjacent to the booth.

KICKER Fan and Ambassador Sam Law, a personal friend of Lorin Morrell, trailered his loaded RZR from close by to the event and it was placed on the track before racing began.
The Finley Toyota  Center is an amazing venue with many lighting options… This one just before the racing began.

Morrell added “Across the Prescott Valley area there are a lot of opportunities for outdoor activities. PowerBars for side-by-sides and marine installs plus under seat truck boxes and Harley setups grabbed a lot of interest in the KICKER booth. It was great to be back in Prescott again. The Findlay Center crew is very helpful and the ArenaCross girls helped throughout the both nights.. This event paid thanks to military veterans who received a free general admission ticket by showng their militaty ID. I am looking forward to next year.”

This AMA KICKER Arenacross season wraps with Round 12 in Daytona Beach FL on February 28th. The KICKER ArenaCross 2024/2025 events across the U.S. have seen great action on the track plus attendance has been strong.

New SEMA Research: 2025 Future Trends

DIAMOND BAR, CA (02.09.25) – New research by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) sheds light on future and emerging trends impacting the automotive aftermarket, whose annual $337 billion economic impact is a key driver of the American economy.

The annual report delivers critical insights to SEMA’s 7,500 member businesses, which develop, manufacture, and market parts and accessories that improve safety, performance, and comfort for the nation’s automotive enthusiasts.

View the complete report here. Highlights and analysis of the report follow.

Industry and Economic Outlook

What’s Trending

  • As we move further from the volatile pandemic era of sales growth spikes and downshifts, we should expect to see a more normal growth rate around 3%-4%, driven by:
    • Increased consumer spending on their vehicles.
    • A jump in sales and revenue expectations as interest rates improve and inflation cools.
    • Investments to diversify supply chains that pay dividends by preserving market stability.
  • Challenges emerge from stagnant vehicle costs and interest rates, coupled with consumers fiscally stressed by cost increases for auto insurance and repairs.
    • Motor vehicle insurance jumped 14% for the 12 months preceding October 2024.
    • Costs of motor vehicle repair increase by 7.3% over the same period.
  • Tariffs are an X factor and could dramatically increase costs and exert pressure on the automotive aftermarket industry.

SEMA Says
“A whole lot of our consumers took on vehicle projects and modifications during COVID, so you used up some of the demand that might have come a year or two later,” said Gavin Knapp, SEMA Director of Market Research. “Obviously, continuing inflation and high prices have also affected people, and there will be questions going forward about how long that will continue with possible tariffs and things like that. The expectation is we’ll stay at current growth levels in 2025 and then return to our industry’s usual 4%–5% growth rate next year and going forward.”

Vehicle Trends in the U.S.

What’s Trending

  • Vehicle prices have stabilized, albeit at elevated levels, meaning continuously climbing inventory could drive down prices.
    • In October 2024, the average transaction price for a new vehicle was $48,117.
  • Demand for electric vehicles will stall, with manufacturers adjusting accordingly.
  • More cars will be equipped with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and sensors, impacting how vehicle owners interact with their vehicles (including modifications and accessorizing).

SEMA Says
“As of last year, vehicle inventories had been climbing for a while, but there hasn’t been much demand,” noted Matt Byun, SEMA Market Research Manager. “If you keep getting cars on the lot, eventually you’re going to have to start selling them. But the surprise is OEMs aren’t lowering their costs. Instead, they’re scaling back their production a bit.”

Potential Tariff Impacts

What’s Trending

  • Tariffs are a looming specter, with the potential to increase costs for OEMs, part manufacturers, and consumers.
  • Most of the exposure is likely to small- and mid-sized parts manufacturers, who rely on international supply chains for some of their components and materials.
  • Prices for parts affected by tariffs would be more extreme because of supply chains built around imports from Mexico and Canada, both of which are highly integrated into the U.S. auto industry.
  • Between 2020-23, prices for parts imported to the U.S. increased 9%, due to higher prices for electrical and electronic equipment.
  • Tariffs disproportionately impact businesses that pay upfront for goods and services, with small- and medium-sized companies potentially experiencing cash-flow issues, delayed payments, and reduced capacity and inventory.

SEMA Says
“It’s important to understand how President Donald Trump has historically used tariffs, which he sees as negotiating tools to create leverage against other nations on issues unrelated to trade, like immigration and defense spending,” said Karen Bailey-Chapman, SEMA Senior Vice President-Public & Government Affairs. “Tariffs with big numbers, like 25% or higher, are often introduced by President Trump at the negotiating table, or even publicly, but he also has shown a willingness to withdraw or suspend them when a deal is within reach. As a result, what you see in the headlines does not always materialize.”

Consumer Demographics

What’s Trending

  • America is getting older but drivers are increasingly younger.
  • There are more licensed drivers under the age of 25 today than there were two decades ago.
  • Younger drivers are tapping into the used car market more frequently, due to rises in the cost of new vehicles.
  • Young people drive the automotive accessories market and tend to live more enthusiast-oriented lifestyles.
  • More than 60% of specialty-equipment sales in 2023 came from accessorizers under the age of 45.

SEMA Says
“If you look at the nation’s demographics, we are getting much, much older, and the 65-plus demographic is getting much larger,” Knapp said. “How that plays for our market is interesting. It keeps more cars on the road because there are more drivers over time. But that older demographic is also a lower-spending segment for our market. They have money but are less likely to wrench on their car.”

Alternative Powertrains and EVs

What’s Trending

  • Automaker investments in electric vehicle (EV) powertrains persist, but consumer demands are spurring cuts in EV production.
  • EVs continue to be viewed as luxury products, with the high upfront costs outweighing incentives in consumers’ minds.

SEMA Says
“The EV hype has been a bit overblown, and some of the electrification market’s growth has shifted into hybrids,” Knapp explained. “As Toyota Motor Corp. Chairman Akio Toyoda has said, for everything it takes to build one pure EV, you can make 10 hybrids, but it’s still an open question whether hybrids are an interim step or a long-term play.”

ADAS and Autonomous Vehicles

What’s Trending

  • While fully self-driving vehicles remain a long way off, ADAS features are becoming increasingly prevalent in Americans’ vehicles.
    • While very few vehicles had automatic emergency braking capabilities in 2015, well over 90% of new vehicles from model year 2023 featured such system.
    • Automatic emergency braking, which was non-existent before 2015, can now be found in more than 67 million vehicles on the road.
