    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    Thank you! And i haven’t had the chance to do it yet, but i see what you see: On the RH side, both lights (inner and outer) are well aligned on the outside, but misaligned on the inside However on the LH side, the lights are misaligned on the outside (outer light sits higher than the...

    I'd like to emphasize on what was said here. He is 100% right. I had pulled the LV battery and the first responder loop when deciding to work on the driver side tail light. Prior to that, the car woke up a number of random times. it is possible that just choosing to power down the car does it...

    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    I broke mine too!! Sadly the piece flew somewhere in a black hole, and never to be found again... My tail lights are the smoked ones so i'm going to look around for some small ABS piece that I can trim up and epoxy-glue to it, unless anyone knows a way to address that kind of damage with the...

    Inner lights completed. Goodness it’s true that the process is NOT A JOKE! The wiring spaghetti is another monster of its own. The only annoying thing (at times) is that the instructions from Alpharex use photos from a pre-refresh within the middle of the breakdown, which sometimes point to...

    Maaaan they went QUICKLY! Before posting i made sure to check all 3, and they were in stock (the OEM look). Alpharex should realize that the demand is so damn high lol, we've been waiting for something like that for years now

    New Tesla Model S Owner/Taillight question

    Yo! Your car will work well with the new Alpharex Nova tail lights (they also have headlights for your model but in my opinion it may look too busy, however i've never seen them mounted on a car so i could be wrong) the tail lights though? They are sexy. And plug-n-play for your model, there...

    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    I tried to pull the trigger but ended up a bit confused about the placement of some of the resistors To my understanding: - the 2 Ohm .25W resistors will be a total of 6: 2 on each outer light (1 on the green wire and 1 on the yellow wire) and 1 on each inner light (green wire) - the 50 Ohm...

    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    To be fair, 2021 covers the pre-refresh refresh, but not the 2021 refresh-refresh if that makes sense. (Both with old tail lights) When purchasing mine, i believed to have understood this and was ready to deal with any modifications if needed, so it was to a degree a gamble. Early this year...

    both of you guys are correct. Here is the thing though: I spoke with T-Sportline back then because I noticed the same thing (inner light+outer light vs outer light only) Reverse light on the US version: Shots taken from this video EVOffer's "version" aka EU spec has the rear fog...

    Vendor New Refresh Headlights & Taillights for Tesla Model S 2012-2020 | T Sportline x Alpharex collab NOVA Headlights and Pro Series Taillights

    It’s the old naming convention of the tail lights. It was originally labeled 2012-2020, however, many buyers (me included) had received an email from T-Sportline asking for the specific vehicle that we own It was broken down as such - “Pre facelift” 2012 to April 2016 - “facelift” May 2016 to...

    You have a point. Not directly side-by-side, but a more accurate comparison. The old headlights on this particular Model 3 are similar to ours in term of light spread Starts at 11:11 where the old non-projectors are compared with the Alpharex ones

    I thought they were, but apparently it's custom-built @Xenoilphobe, Regarding the NOVA's, I believe the cutoff will have to be similar to what can be observed for the Model 3 version: Timestamp: 8:51
