headlights

This thread is for the general discussion of the marketplace listing Model S Headlights. Please add to the discussion here.

2015 S P85D While driving as the sun goes down only one light comes on in Auto mode(normally the right comes on). If I cycle the headlights off then back to Auto they normally stay on. Recently the left light has gone off several times in the dark requiring a reset. Have owned the car 3 months...

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...

Hello :) A new weird problem has started with my 2018 model S. Right right-hand headlight's turn signal is permanently stuck in glow. It's on all the time even if the car is locked or asleep. There is excessive moisture inside the unit so my guess is something is horted. The question is; is...

There are two types of headlights available for my 2017 Tesla Model X on the market online: those suitable for 2015-2019 models and others for 2016-2022 models. What are the differences between these two? Which one is better for my car?

TMS 85D dec '15 My headlights are pointing too low and the adjustment screw does not allow me to adjust further. From the MCU1 screen there is choice of 3 settings: 0, 1 and 2. These do not work. Could it be a fault in a small light adjustment motor? Where can I find details about this motor...

Hello, TM3 2019 LR here. After updating to 2023.38.6, the headlight position isn't saved when I try to calibrate them. I set them as I want (they move without any issue, up/down/left/right), but then once I exit the calibration the left one goes all the way down and the right one all the way...

So I just had an update to my Model 3 and after the update, I just noticed that the headlights are no longer lowering when the car goes to sleep. Wondering if anyone else was seeing this change?

Just a quick question, Is it normal to have a split in the left headlight like the picture attached. People have always flashed thinking my lights are on high beam but recently a passenger commented on how high the top section of my left light was shining. Is it normal to have a split in the...

I’m having this issue where one or the other headlight beam stops working for a period of time. Not the entire assembly, just one of the beams. Replaced the bulbs and cleaned and tightened the grounds just for good measure, but no luck. Anyone experience this?

I took Delivery of a new MYLR on March 31, 2023 from the Dublin CA delivery center. The car was built in Fremont 03/2023. The exterior and interior were fine. In the daylight it was hard to inspect headlights. When I came home I noticed that both the headlights have very visible dirty...

I like to keep my eyes on the road. Every car I've owned has had a turn-signal wand on the steering column (except for my 1930 Model A Ford). My 2023 MX yoke has no wands/stobs/levers on the steering column. Instead, they have buttons on that must be located and touched to operate. Okay, cars...

This happened two days ago as I was driving home in Spain (very odd weather, I've been driving from the Pyrenees in France back home and half of the road - more than 5 hours - was just like this). At some point, a police car started driving nearby at the same speed, on the nearby lane. I had no...

For sale is a set of matrix led headlights which were never used. Still in original wrapping. Asking $400 picked up in Irvine.

Hello, I am getting my Fremont MYLR today (F571) and an SA checked my vin and said it shows up with "premium headlights" which is the regular headlights and not the "global headlights" which is the matrix headlights. I have seen multiple Fremont MYLRs from last month with the Matrix. Did Tesla...

Hi everyone, I know there have been a couple of similar questions, so apologies for yet another headlights alignment query, but I couldn't quite find the answer I was looking for. I messed up my headlights settings, so decided to take my Tesla Model 3 Long Range to Tesla Service to have them...

I took delivery of a shiny new 2022 MYP in June and went on a road trip thru the Upper Peninsula of Michigan a couple weeks ago. One thing I experienced a lot was having oncoming cars flash their brights at me *thinking* my brights were on. Apparently, the Matrix Headlights are so bright that...

Hello guys, Got my MSLR last week with the matrix headlights, and noticed that when driving at night, there is a dark patch in the lights on the left. Today I parked close to a wall and observed carefully, and I think that dark patch is this gap on pointed by the left arrow. There is a similar...

I currently own a 2018 model s. The led headlights on it are terrible. ive had them replaced 3 times under warrant and the are still having problem. Teslas asking price for replacements is $3,298 and I didn’t want to pay for headlights that are going to fail again. I want to put in the pre...

Hi everyone, I wanted to check with others from the UK with a pre-refresh (No Matrix) Model 3 how their headlights are performing. My car is a 2019 Model 3 Performance, picked up in November 2019. I'd been having some issues with mine where I'd be parked on my sloped driveway, press the brake...

I’m in a predicament.I’m the only one with a Model Y in Jamaica (Caribbean).Right headlight stopped working the very next day after clearing it on Oct 30th 2020. Tesla Miami service center assured a technician will travel to Jamaica to fix the issue and now they won’t. W

Hi all - new to the forum and excited to be a part of it. Has anyone seen a scratch like this on their Model 3 headlights? I recently took delivery of my Model 3 and drives like a dream. Drove about 250 mikes, and noticed this scratch on my driver side headlight cover. Does this look like impact...

Headlights and blinker lights on driver side not working at all. Rear blinker works fine but will flash quickly and only click 2 times instead of the usual 3 times when signaling for lane change to the left. Scheduled for service already but earliest is in 2 weeks. Anyone experienced this...

Here are the official Samsung videos which show the new Headlights in action. This video at 0:04 is clearly a Tesla M3: This video shows the features of the new Headlights (yet to be activated via software update):

Ok guys here they are! I've been contemplating whether I should get a Model Y Performance vs a Y LR. Luckily I was able to secure an overnight YP with the new matrix projector loaner this weekend. I already have a model 3 with the "old" LED and a buddy down the street happens to own a YP with...

Hey everyone I’m new to Tesla Motors Club. I came here in search of answer to why my headlights look as if they are mismatched. I purchased the car as a CPO (2016 late December) from Tesla last September, I’ve never seen this until today but one is different from the other. I know that the PUP...

Back in the day, a bit of tape was needed on each headlight to prevent blinding oncoming traffic when driving a LH drive car in a RH drive country and vice versa. Do our supercomputers on wheels need such a bodge job or can the angle of the beams be adjusted via the User Interface?

Back in the day you had to stick tape over part of the headlights to avoid blinding oncoming traffic when driving on the opposite side of the road, is this still the case with our supercomputer on wheels? (2021 3 LR in my case)

I have seen a few videos stating these are quite a bit brighter than the standard Xenon HID's (pre LED headlights). They are not 'laser' like the product says but they do throw quite a bit more light than the stock ones based on the youtube vidoes I have seen. They seem quite expensive for...

Does anyone have any tips on keeping the headlights from frosting up/freezing over in the current cold temperatures? I made a journey of around 12 miles last night and it wasn't until I joined the motorway I realised that I couldn't see a thing as they were frosted over. I obviously cleared...

I'm wanting to add some vinyl for a halloween theme but I need an image of the full size headlight so I can use it in photoshop to get the job done. Anyone know where I can get an image of the headlight full size or what is the best way to go about doing this aside form hiring a professional?

Member for awhile now and just getting to my first post. I have a MS P85D and was looking into some custom lights... Mainly blacking the housing, frosting the DRLs, and maybe sequential signal modules. With just the 2 options doing this work on the headlights would be close to a grand if I sent...

Is it only me who complain about not the best low beam light on MY? Compared to my GMC Terrain I see MY lights are 1. Has steeper angle to the road 2. Resulted in shorter lighted distance on the road (GMC I do not use high beams, while on MY I had to switch to them on country roads) I see the...

I just picked up my MY and due to some horror stories I read/watched I decided to download one of the checklists and go over it with a fine tooth comb. I have never done this (at this level) on any other new car as I just assumed they would work/be good to go on delivery. Luckily they seem to be...

Headlights from my 2015 85D. Going a different route. Completely changed the look of the front end. Lights have a Frosted DRL. Deep blue around the projector trim and everything else satin black. They're not perfect. Lenses have some minor scratches, have not attempted to buff it out but it...

Are the Model Y/3 headlights LED projectors or reflectors? Do they have turning functionality similar to German vehicles?

Hi Everyone, I picked up my first model 3 this time last week and appear to have an unusual blip on the headlight profile. Is anybody else seeing this pattern? Being new, I can’t tell if this is usual or not. I’ve done some googling but only found a couple of picks, none of them appear to show...

Hello geeks, I installed 2017 headlights on my 2014 MS P85D (DIY). They look much pretty and sharp. Yet i need some help to get them function properly. Low beam (working fine once i plugged the connector) High beam (not working when pulling the stalk) DRL (not working) Turn signal...

Hello, I have a June 2016 MS75 and in late August 2019 I noticed that my driver's side headlight assembly wasn't turning on (this includes the LED DRL, blinker & HID). Since we were on a family roadtrip to Maine when this happened, I attempted every trick I could think of to fix it and found...

So my car is charging in my driveway as normal. I'm using the basic 120V 15A charger that came with the car. Except tonight, for some reason, its just started flicking the headlights on/off quickly every minute or 2. I only noticed it cause I thought I heard a noise outside, and checked my...

Hey TMC! I just wanted to share my experience if anyone wanted to tackle the project! I am not a big fan of the chrome headlights. I didn't want to tint because that lowers the light output. Blacking out the chrome housing, on a projector headlight does not degrade light performance! The...

I have an M3 AWD with f/w 2019.20.1. This morning the wipers wouldn't activate via the screen or the turn signal button. They also wouldn't move into the Service Mode position. When I got to work I discovered the headlights weren't coming on. I leave them in Auto and they turn on when going into...

Hi there, I'm new to Tesla, purchased used Tesla.com Model S 2016 2 days ago. I'm noticing a few problems, not sure if these are included in warranty, or will resolve with a new software update? The auto headlight hi-beams worked Monday, but not Tuesday. The auto side mirror folding system...

I have two left and one right headlight. These are perfect, like new condition. Bought them for a project but never got around to it. I no longer have the car. I’m located in Chicago area. $200 each.

I took home delivery of my Model 3 late at night, late in September, and so I didn't really get a chance to inspect the fit and finish as closely as I would have liked. The next morning I walked around the car checking for panel gaps and other issues and noticed that the driver side headlight...

Anyone have their headlights always stay on, when in sunlight, started in bright sunlight, night, etc. since this last update I have full low beams, running, and fog lights on all the time. I manually turn them off in the daytime to compensate.

For those who might have multiple vehicles, I'm curious to know if the Model 3's headlights are on par or any better than the other Teslas? My Model S is okay at night, but think it could be better. If there's any pictures taken at night that one could provide of the different cars it would...

Hi guys, It looks like this hasn't been shared yet so I figured I will pass it along for the tuning enthusiasts. Kenny Pfitzer of Zero to 60 Designs sculpted a new body kit (front/rear bumpers + side skirts) for the Tesla Model S which debuted last week at SEMA, this particular car also...
