2020 SR+ if they aren't fog lights what are they?

There is an orange lamp in place of the fog lamp. As far as I can tell from reflection in other cars they never come on when i'm driving. I can only make them come on when parked by turning the park lights on? What are these lamps?

Looks like marker lights. Do they stay on when your park lights are on?

Side marker lights with the uber ugly USDM orange reflector (non US cars dont have either the amber reflector or the amber LED on the circuit board directly behind it).

Note that these are NOT in the location of either the fogs (outer edge) or the DRL LED strips (running from the reflector, out toward the fog lights).

The side marker lights are in the same location and behind the same amber reflector on all Model 3s fitted with them.

Some of us have either a. replaced the amber with a clear reflector b. painted over the reflector c. removed the reflector (exposing the dark PCB and both LED chips behind it).

Search this and the other forum if interested.

Thanks for all this info!

Do the orange lights come on and stay on with the headlights?

Yes they come on when any exterior lights activated: parking or head. There is a member here that had clear lenses made for those markers. Turned out killer!

I find it a bit petty of Tesla part not to have the fog lights functioning. Paying in the neighborhood 45k+ for a car, you would think fog lights would work.
