    2014 Model S HID to LED Replacement

    Removed the power in and out from the ballast. Removed the bulb and the cable that goes to the ballast. They are not of use anymore. Connected the pins from the led bulb to the power source. Note that the bulbs just come with pins, so it is just easy to insert into the power supply. Remove the...

    2014 Model S HID to LED Replacement

    Agreed and thanks for the insight. I am not very good with tools, so was taking a shortcut to just upgrade the bulbs, instead of a retrofit. But if it doesnt work, well, will just get a better HID bulb that fits. Probably the OSRAM Laser should be a better option. Thanks again!

    2014 Model S HID to LED Replacement

    The manufacturer advertises this as a replacement for D3S bulbs and suggests to not use the ballast that comes with the OEM bulbs. And the TESLA user that reviewed the bulb mentioned that the installation was easy and there were no error codes seen. So wondering whether anyone else have tried this.

    2014 Model S HID to LED Replacement

    Thanks for the link, but the post that you suggested is about a retrofit. The LED bulb that I linked is a direct replacement to the HID bulb on the prefacelift models. So kinda a different question. I am not planning to buy a whole headlight, but just the LED bulbs to replace my current dying bulb.
