    Daytime running lights aren't on anymore

    I have a refreshed front Model S, and from day 1 I've always had daytime running lights. Beginning this morning, I don't have them anymore. Anyone else experience this?

    Major Safety Issue - Hoping a Tesla engineer watching the forums reads this!

    Last night, while driving down the highway in pitch black lighting, my headlights suddenly shut off! This has happened before, but not during a pitch-black scenario, and I was assured that this was a firmware bug, that it was identified, and was fixed. Obviously that's not the case. I had to...

    On 17.14.23 - No Daylight Running Lights (AP1 car) in Auto Mode?

    Anyone having issue with their daylight running lights, when set to Auto (the default)? If I drive in daylight/bright weather they have always been on, but now they are just off. If I toggle the mode to OFF, then they do turn on bright, PARKING they are on dimmer with fogs (if dark enough)...

    Pre facelift headlights in new model S

    I had a 2017 March 90D for a few days but had been driving a pre face lift P90D loaner for about a month. Other than the amazing acceleration and more solid AP1, I noticed that the old headlights seems to be a lot better, specially the low beam. They through a brighter, more even beam that cuts...

    High beam headlight problem

    My passenger side headlight seems to be defective with a high beam that is too low. I have had the car to the service center 3 times without getting it corrected. Both low beams are correctly adjusted and are aimed at the same height. The high beam on the passenger side hits the road about 40 ft...

    Any non-LED illumination?

    On current production cars with PUP, is there any non-LED illumination left? From what I can tell on my MS, anything that generates light appears to be LED now.

    Parking Lights NOT turning on after unlocking the car after software update Dec 2016

    After the update on December 23, 2016. Version 8.0 (2.50.114), my parking lights (on the headlamps) will not come on after unlocking the car. Before the update they would come on. I have my settings on Auto for Parking/Headlights. I tried to reboot the car both the center console and driver...

    Wiper and Headlight Settings

    Can the headlights be set to turn on when the wipers are activated? This is the law in some locations and while I'm not aware of any cars that have this feature, it would be nice to have.

    Replaced Halogens with LED's

    Last week I had a headlamp burn out, which interestingly enough is indicated by the "toy car" on the instrument cluster. As my car is not equipped with the tech package, it is equipped with halogen lamps. Considering there's probably not a lot of vehicles out there without the TP, this won't...

    LED headlight upgrade to Model S

    My 2013 Model S has halogen headlights (non-tech package) which are very dim. Several members have successfully upgraded to HID Xenon with the Kensun kits available on Amazon...

    FDA approves Laser Headlight, when will Tesla have it?

    FDA approved a weaker version of laser headlight (2 times stronger vs 3 times in Europe) While this is not new in Europe, it is new technology for the US and it got me wondering when the Tesla Model S will start to have it as either standard or part of premium lighting package. My guess is...

    Tinted Headlights

    After spending hours trying to find pictures of a Tesla with tinted headlights,and not having any success. I decided to get mine done today. It was a hard decision to make because I had no clue how it would look, but at the least I figured I could help other people out by posting this. I still...

    Wiki Headlights - no stickers required between UK and the Continent

    The headlights on the Model S do not require those little stickers or any adjustment to allow you to travel between the UK and the rest of Europe. Back in October 2013 when I first received my Model S I spent quite a lot of time with Tesla on this issue. The people in Tilburg very kindly setup...

    Ferries, nighttime, winter, and the Model S lighting controls: not a good mix

    Hi Fellow Canadians, I wanted to alert you to an issue I have discovered with the way the exterior lighting controls function on the Model S in Canada, especially their handling of the daytime running light (DRL) requirement. I expect this will also affect Model S owners in Atlantic Canada...
