I emailed them and they replied that wiring was different between 2016-2020 and refresh 2021/2022.

Judging from the AlphaRex website for the model 3 and Y, I chose "red smoke." I'm guessing the S taillights will have a similar appearance.

As we’ve determined here and can be checked by looking at the vehicle schematics, SOP14 cars rear brake lights (refresh cars made before Feb 14th 22) have the same wiring as the pre-refresh cars.
Not sure where they are getting their info.
***Edit***
Actually the taillight wiring and the headlight wiring is carry over from the previous version.
Looks the same to me as well:
2019 - page 29
2021 - page 30
2022 - page 25
I wonder if the part number is even the same between SOP14 and SOP12 tail lights? The EPC catalog is just showing the latest part number for me ...

Been following this thread. I was almost going to order oem facelift tail lights but since Tsportline offers OEM like sets soon i pre ordered a set. My car is ECE since it is located in europe, hopefully these work fine here.. I personally dont like the “disco” movement on the units when it is starting up. If incant disable it we need to live with it i guess
also i hope there is fog on them. I know in usa it is not mandatory while in Europe it is.

you mean with the new taillights? or the model just before new tail and headlights were introduces? All models with the same taillights 2012 until early 2021 should be compatible. New model 2021 late probably is not compatible due to differences in chargeport etc.

with Tsportlines taillights with my july delivered early 2021 refresh model S(old charge port)
Does that mean it will be compatible even though they state it won't?

In the description they dont mention the lights having FOG function, which is mandatory in Europe. I wonder if they are equipped with it. If not then these will fail European MOT tests...would be a bummer...
"These Tesla Model S LED taillights are designed with two LED tubes as a parking light. The center LED strip in the outer housing (the housing that attaches to the quarter panel) functions as a brake light and sequential turn signal, and the bottom LED strip functions as blinking turn signal. For the inner housing (the housing that attaches to the deck lid), the center LED strip functions as a reverse light in brighter than stock, white LED"

Yes that complience also is shown on ECE units. I guess it should also include ECE on the compliance then if they want to include Europe.
But i wrote them in instagram and they say European version will be released later. I already ordered a set for europe but i guess they will either cancel it or let me wait until they made an Europe model. The model being sold now does not include FOG for sure...
