This morning I opened up the front lamps and installed the chokes on them. The exposed wires were long enough that I could fit the smallest chokes on them. The only one that I used a larger choke on was drivers rear as I chose to not remove part of the wire loom to allow the length to be enough to fit a small one. Your cars wiring looms may be slightly different.
BTW, you place the chokes over both wires and clip them shut.
Best of luck to everyone that has been having issues with this and hope it is a good fix for you also.

I don’t - but the probability of it happening was very high as I understands it’s the JW LED lights on 2019 and some others randomly.
and since I had a lot of work done on my car and the wheels were off I made it a 1 time event to mess around with them. I don’t have any space as my cars so low to get in there and change them so, figured it’d attempt to stop it if it was ever going to happen...

Actually, the probability was very low. Few people have had any issue.
This is what makes it interesting. What is different about the cars which have an issue when the majority do not?

I think a lot of people don't realize that's what's causing the problem. I didn't when I put them on my 19. I thought it was the sensor at the back of the car because mine did it with 2 different sets of wheels. I happened to read a thread on here and realized that I'd caused the problem when I installed the led's. Thankfully I never pulled the rear clip off to replace the sensor because that would have been a big waste of time.
