Hey all,
I recently purchased a used 2021 MYLR for a pretty good price. I recently noticed that the left side (passenger) DRL has gone out/is completely faded. I have been thinking of buying a used headlight on eBay for ~$250 and install it myself using a few tutorials I found on YouTube.
After further investigation, it seems like there are 2 types of headlights, Matrix and Reflector. My Model Y has the outdated Reflector headlights.
I was wondering if it would be possible to just buy a pair of the newer Matrix headlights (since they seem better) and install them on my Model Y.
I have done some digging and seems like a few individuals were able to do so with some sort of "developer programming" they paid for. However, those posts were from 8-10 months ago.
Does anyone know if this is now possible? Would it be as simple as: Installing the new headlights > going into Service Mode > Reinstall Software?
What would you guys recommend:
-Wait it out and buy Matrix when/if theyre functional with older models
or
-Stop being delusional and buy a replacement Reflector
(btw sorry if this has been asked before)
