2019 Model S Raven - New Headlights?

[lenovoguy]

Does anyone have any pictures of the new 2019 Model S Raven, does it have a slightly different headlight design?

No pictures but I saw one in the showroom on Rush St (Chicago) and the headlights are identical (at least in appearance). Hopefully something new (improved/enhanced) will come in the September timeframe....

Came across this on twitter - I don't think the current generation has the daylight all around, just the top, and partially on the bottom

Interesting. On the online parts catalog, I see the following for both left and right side. Two part numbers, so is it possible that the bottom of the two are for the new raven?

Anyone want to go order one of these and see if it's a direct replacement?

1053570-00-D HD/LP ASY, SAE UP-LEVEL, LH
1065041-00-D HD/LP ASY, SAE BASE, LH

1053571-00-D HD/LP ASY, SAE UP-LEVEL, RH
1065042-00-D HD/LP ASY, SAE BASE, RH

Added a picture of my current 2016 for comparison

In this new YouTube video with a Raven Long Range the headlights doesn’t look new/different.
My guess is that the camera angel reflects the lights...

That’s just a flection
You can tell as it’s not as bright as the actual lit area.

I replaced my 90D with the new Raven. The lights look identical but it does seem brighter than the older ones.

Here is a pic of my Raven's headlight. The other external change is the "Dual Motor" badge in the rear.

If this works on the post 2016 facelift cars I suspect it will work on the pre-2016. That would be cool...

I don’t think the pre and post facelift headlights are drop in replacements. The old ones are HID where the new ones are LED. According to tests, the old HID headlights are actually brighter with a sharper cut off for glare. They only look old because the newer cars have different lights.

Headlights look the same to me. Maybe it's a revision with a brighter DRL?

Or a DRL that doesn’t burn out regularly.

Store sales person said the exterior is the same.

The more I see of these yellowing screen, non sunroof, non leather cars, the more I like mine.

I like a badge that relates better to the performance and price of the car.

They fit physically, but LED headlights are CAN bus controlled, older HID ones not. The plug is the same. DLRs work, but nothing else. So you can only upgrade LED headlights to the raven version.

Can they be made to work with the older cars if you root the car?

Are the Raven headlights the same as they have been ever since the 2016 exterior refresh?
They were not so awesome when the refresh happened, but I'm unsure whether they were altered at all after that?
