2022 Tesla Model 3 LR Projector to Matrix headlight retrofit

Everything does for me, to each their own.

Yeah they won't work for long, when the car deep sleeps lights will not come back to life. Need to actually reconfig the gateway for them to function correctly.
Have them in my 2018 M3P and reconfiged correctly.
True test is to do the light show and see if the word Tesla shows up from the lights. If they don't then car is not reconfigured correctly.
Also in the service menu and showing the software tab
It says specifically matrix lights global for the ECU software

Received and installed my matrix headlights today. Had the car coded last Tuesday and the old headlights have worked ever since, as long as you don’t update the car or reinstall software the old headlights should still work.

Posted this in the other topic, but probably deserves its own thread. US EPC seems to have removed the non global headlamps from the catalog and now says anyone with the old headlights would need both lights replaced and vehicle config updated. Since that’s the official rec, the Tesla shop should be able to do it.

Unclear as to whether they’ll be willing to do it for used / gray market lights.

Does this mean that a level 3 tech/super is not needed anymore to perform this retrofit?

With Tesla who knows. They sometimes make changes before the infrastructure is there. But it should theoretically be something any service center could do. And I would argue they should give body shops that access since occasionally accidents will lead to needing new headlights

According to VeryGreen, it seems that way, you just need the proper cables and a Toolbox subscription:

He even gives the command you need:

Looking for used matrix lights in my area now. Just need someone to confirm that it's actually possible to code the gateway now!

Yes it's been possible ever since matrix headlights came out

I assume they meant if it’s possible just for anyone with a toolbox subscription without special high level toolbox access.

Yes, I am not aware of any actors in Norway that can program the gateway.
