The ideal scenario would be a mobile tech that could do it. I take the bumper off at home and install the lights, the tech comes out and updates the config. I get everything tested to make sure it works, and then put the bumper back on. I would happily pay tesla for their time, but I think they...

Connectors are not different. Just different coding on the canbus. Needs a config change. Two people have already done it. Plug the lights in directly and convince someone with access to change a config id value and they work. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/6667076/ As for a SC...

I have seen several reports of this. It’s real. Likely to save cost or supply chain issues like Mrbrock said. There is one person who refused delivery because of the headlights and the service center is going to place the new global headlights in the same car to appease him. Clearly a...

Did you get yours on eBay? Look to be $300-350 for a pair? Are you in Frisco Texas? If so we are near each other. If one of us finds a place, we can both use them.

I called around to 3 different Tesla Certified shops in the DFW area and none were comfortable doing the gateway config change. I have not reached out to Tesla directly. Not sure what the best approach is. Nighthawk's approach of installing the headlights and having tesla troubleshoot, or just...

What do you mean by software reinstall? That is something you did yourself by parking near the service center? Are you now able to level the headlights yourself from the service menu in the center screen? Any other issues with the lights? This is incredible. Thanks again.

The replacement headlight was a matrix headlight? I wonder why it didn't work? By software reinstall, do you mean had to go back to the service center and have them reset the gateway config value? Have you had an OTA software update since the install and they still work? Also, how did you get...

Following with interest!

I see. For the model Y there is a different picture. I would be shocked if they offered an upgrade post-sale.

I hope it does! I am curious how this would work. How could a third party shop update headlight software?

Any updates on this?

Can you screenshot? I don't see that.

@hchu0304 sounds like there is a software update rolling our (car wash mode). Are you going to try the upgrade trick?

Big thanks to hchu0304 for trying this out. I have a couple questions: 1. You mentioned the harness is the same. Are there the same number of pins/leads in both sets of headlights? Sometimes the plastic harness is the same, but the connection contacts are different. 2. There are no additional...
