LED side markers - too bright? Throw a code?

I edited the poll to include SCP
Sorry, multiple vendors with same light source?

I installed a set of the side marker lights as well as the rear reflectors on my 2O14 last week and the only time I had it out for a drive the TPS warning appeared. Love the look of the lights and have ordered some of the chokes to install - probably next week. Hopefully that solves the problem. If no, Jhonathan has said returns accepted for up to 99 days.

Well, we got a failure for every model year except 2016. Looks like all C7s may have a problem with the lights.

All years can apparently have a problem.
Unfortunately, very few are responding to the poll. It appears essentially only those with a problem have seen/responded to it. These numbers are low in comparison to the number of units sold given the number of group buys.

I’m happy to participate in the poll but I didn’t want to “contaminate” the results with a non JW product.
That being said, from the photos on both sites and pricing, they might be sourced from the same manufacturer?
what does everyone here say? Same source? Same product?

OK, I know some snot is going to be snarky again but I changed the poll to read "Non Oracle" side lights. I didn't know that there was a plethora of vendors putting the same kind of light out in the world.

I have a 2015 Z51 Stingray that would get the TPS warning. I installed two "chokes" on the Drivers side rear light.
One that fit over the two wires right before the plug and one that fit snug over the wire harness about a 1/2" back.
I took a 50 minute ride on the highway and no TPS warning the pressures on all the tires updated.

Well, one thing for sure and that is all years from 14 - 19 are affected by this issue.
It does look as though the chokes are helping solve the problem.

That is good news ! I have not yet been able to drive my '19 GS after I installed the lights as yet. there are some things that have to be addressed first and foremost.
Once again I appreciate all of this legwork to make this happen.

Vette Ski First drive your car with the lights on and see if you have the TPS warning problem.
If you do try the "chokes" on the left rear drivers side. You need to do a 20-25 minute drive at
highway speeds.

I need to change my vote to TPMS Failure for my 2019 GS-
These were installed with the EMI blocking Faraday tape and with that grounded as well - and also the chokes on each light.
Got the TPMS failure yesterday with headlights on freeway for 30 min.
Damn!

Update on the LED side marker install on my '14. Got the service TPS message and ordered the ferrite chokes to see if that cured the problem. Over the past couple of days, got the chokes installed on all four corners. Put two chokes on each wiring harness. Took the car out for a drive today with the lights on and thankfully the chokes seem to have cured the problem. Lights look great BTW.
