I bought the ones that tripped the TPMS sensor. Sent them back for full refund. The seller (JWM) was great to deal with.

I felt I should not have to "fix" something to make it work... maybe.

Thanks Vetteman,
Appreciate your input. I did find this:
https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...with-tpms.html

Looks like the LED interferes with the TPMS weird.

Now I am rethinking

Not all brands seem to have the interference. Oracle is more expensive, but there hasn't been a reported case of interference with the brand.

I've got the Oracles - easy to install and zero TPMS issues... thus I recommend them.

Just note the Oracles are a tiny bit thicker then OEM so they are not flush with the car's body panels, they stick out like 1/16".

Some experience interference others don’t. Even same model and year. Mine have been installed for about 8 months with zero problems.

I installed the ones from JWM several months ago. Easy installation. Plug and play. I have only had the TPMS problem one time on a long drive at night. I will probably look into the ferrite collar fix this winter. I really like the smoked LED look. Here's a pic of one of my side markers on my 2016 Shark Gray Stingray.

Oracle ghosted Carbon Flash. No issues, easy to install.

it appears to happen more often the 2014-2015 C7 and always the right front tire

Any specific cheaper ones that work on a 2014-2015?
Do oracle forsure work on 2014-2015?
I bought some ebay rears and they cause TPMS, will use OEMs until I can get some solid info.

I have a 2014. I have Oracle. I have no issues with the Oracle sidelights.


Been running the lights since Feb. 2019.

If you want no issues with TPMS go with Oracle. If you are willing to put up with the intermittent alarm but prefer the look of the other ones go with them. I presently have a set from someone other than Oracle and the fault issues are relatively minor and I am willing to put up with them because they fit better and look very much like the clear taillight lenses on my Z06. I do have a set of Oracles in a cabinet in my garage that I picked up when they were on sale and will install them if the fault bothers me too much. The Oracles stick out further, do not match my taillight lenses and have a much wider black band around the outer edge. Your car, your choice, my car, my choice. Depends what is most important to you.
I would have bought Oracles originally but they will not ghost Arctic White which I could have lived with. Apparently AW yellows or something over time with the process they use for ghosting.

That's exactly what my 2017 GS did before I returned them.

The Oracles... no issues.
