Delta Lug Nut Lite - LED 3rd brake light review (hint- not recommended)
I've had these on my JK for a while now. The lights have held up but they seem a bit flimsy. But the rubber grommets that are necessary to install on the wheels have not held up. I contacted Delta customer service and they informed me that the only way to get replacement rubber grommets would be to buy a set of lights without the harness ($13.13). I looked around hardware stores to see if I could find a rubber grommet that could work but didn't find anything that would fit. So I made the decision to buy the set of lights to get a new set of grommets (bad decision in hind sight). They only offered one shipping method which was over $10 for shipping this small package. Whatever, I couldn't find replacements anywhere so I thought I'd just deal with this and order anyway.
A week or so later, I received a notice from the post office that I had a package from Delta but I had to come to the post office to pick it up because they shorted me on postage! I went to get the package and I had to pay $1.62 just to get the damn lights because Delta's shipping department is run by mathematically challenged people. I contacted Delta customer service to let them know of this issue. Iv'e gotten no response from these slimeballs!
I know the dollar amounts I'm talking about are not that much. But it's the principle behind it and the fact that this lazy and dishonest company won't do anything. Needless to say, I would highly recommend staying away from these lug nut lights or any other Delta product since they don't know what customer service means.

I too bought the Delta kit for ~$40 and then found out I could buy those same LED lights on eBay for $8/pair. I hated having them in the tire because it's a pain to hook up each time. I made my own bracket (80¢ from home depot) and have them mounted behind the tire. It's a much cleaner install and now there are no wires to disconnect when I move the spare tire.
