AIS Lighting and King Car Audio Score on the 12Volt Spin-To-Win 110

Posted on by in Industry.

SHREVEPORT, LA (02.15.2021) – The 12volt Spin-To-Win Wheel was created to have some fun across the 12volt industry. Fun for vendors with spaces and visibility on the wheel along with the weekly winners. Fun too for the 12volt News.

Spin 110 on Friday January 8th was especially fun. The Wheel landed on the AIS Lighting space. King Car Audio in Norwalk, CT was the winner and Mo Deura was very happy to hear the news that day.

A quick call to Kelley Vickers at AIS got the ball rolling that day. The same day Destiny Akers snapped an image of the AIS Tech Series PLUS LED Lighting Kit headed to King Car Audio.

A few days later Mo Deura posted an image of the AIS Lighting kit installed on his store’s Jeep.

Vickers followed up and learned Deura really liked the ease of installation and noted the AIS lights were superior to the brand being used at King Car Audio. In addition, Deura had positive comments about the product packaging and is looking forward to becoming an AIS Lighting dealer.

Oracle Lighting Launches Dodge Challenger Dynamic ColorSHIFT Headlight Halo Kits

Posted on by in Industry and tagged .

METAIRIE, LA (02.11.2021) – Oracle Lighting has launched two new Dodge Challenger Dynamic ColorSHIFT Headlight Halo Kits for model years 2008-2014 (p/n 1292-33) and 2015-2021 (p/n 3990-332). Now available, the new kits both have MSRPs of $299.95.

“Customize your Challenger headlight to the max with dynamic styling and a simple, easy install with our new Dynamic ColorSHIFT halo kits,” said Justin Hartenstein, Oracle Lighting director of development. “These kits feature our popular Dynamic ColorSHIFT technology, and now utilize our Dynamic Motion Flow turn signal feature, as well.”

Encased in a special polymer resin, Oracle Lighting’s surface mount halos are completely waterproof (they can function properly even when submerged underwater), and they easily install by attaching directly to the exterior of the headlight lens using a patent-pending system. Oracle Lighting also uses advanced LED chips that produce an impressively bright output while consuming less power. This simple process cuts down installation time from hours to just minutes.

“Our Dynamic ColorSHIFT technology is the latest advancement in our expansive lighting modifications, which allows the user to run multi-color moving patterns,” Hartenstein continued. “Conveniently controlled through a free smartphone app, the system features more than 200 pre-programmed moving patterns as well as static color control and white mode for normal street driving. In addition to the pre-programmed features, the user can also create custom designs through pixel editing in the app.”

These vividly eye-catching lighting effects are sure to wow any car enthusiast, and the chasing RGB halos are made stress-free by Oracle Lighting’s surface-mount installation and plug-and-play wiring. Simply connect the LED control box to the battery then control your lights with the smartphone app. Optional connections for turn signals and DRL conveniently tap to the turn signal and parking light leads on the back of the factory headlights.

“Using the latest lighting technology, our cutting-edge halo kits are a great way to personalize your ride with show-stopping looks and industry-leading performance,” Hartenstein continued. “Stand out from the look-alikes with an Oracle Lighting halo kit!”

Oracle Lighting notes that the colored lights are not intended for on-road use, the white “DRL” mode is intended to override any colors while the vehicle is in use.

Louisiana-based Oracle Lighting has been designing innovative lighting products and technologies for the automotive/12Volt, powersports, motorcycle, and marine markets since 1999. Oracle’s philosophy is this: in today’s world of fly-by-night vendors, we think it is important to partner with businesses that you can trust to be there for you today, tomorrow, and for years to come.
