It may be important to consider if the reflectors still work when the car is parked at night.
The top 2 pix show what is seen when my other car (in my driveway) points headlights directly at my black corvette in the street. My marker lights have black plasti-dip on them... imagine if my car had black wheels too.
The bottom pic shows how the car looks during the day.
Getting to the party late here but to repeat what has already been said, Oracles do not cause interference with TPMS. I initially started with some white box much cheaper ones that caused issues. Took me awhile to figure out they were causing the TPMS to freak out, but for sure it was the lights.
To be honest, I am no lawyer but I would question the legality of all of these aftermarket side lights. The stock lights have only a tiny portion that has LEDs because the rest of it is a reflector. Reflectors are required by manufacturers to have on all vehicles. DOT standards or some government thing. All these aftermarket lights don’t have any reflector surface on them. Of course they’re visible from damn near orbit when they’re powered on, but when they’re off, a car coming won’t see you’re parked there until they’re pretty much on top of you.

Did you have any issue with the top clip on any of the side lights?
top clip was real tough for me on the driver side rear. May have been easier if I had removed the wheel. All the rest were easy. I cheated and broke it off in the end.
I had the same issue. The clip didn't have a sharp enough edge that would clip into the hole. I used a dremel disk grinder to grind a sharper edge on the clip, then it clipped in.

I think I misunderstood you. I was talking about the old ones not the oracles the Oracle’s all clipped in fine.
