Accent Headlight

[Garlan Garner]

I don't see what lights you are talking about in that pic.

Is one side lit and the other one not lit?

Can they come on independently than the splotch?

Thanks. I'll look closer.

Can they come on independently from the big splotch?

Holy Smokes! WOW!!!

I have never seen a Model 3 with just these lights on. That's amazing.

I’m curious too

Yeah...I'm surprised no one has provide a pic with just those accent lights on by themselves.

Does that mean that they don't work on "anyone's" car?

To update the thread on post-headlight replacement, I noticed last week that now my driver side (same as light was change) blinker is blinking rapidly. The audible sound is on pace, but the blinker is very quick. So much so that the short blink (3 blink) push of the stalk completes in one *tick* sound.

Noticed I have this problem today. The easiest way to see it is in the reflection -- sorry I picked a grungy liquor store window to stop in front of.

Yup - this is similar to how I noticed. New gym I go to has mirror tint on the front windows. Annoys me every time I see it. Parts has a new housing on order for me to be replaced by mobile service.

You know what?

I'm going to the Tesla store today and play with their model 3. I believe both of them are out in the store.

Go into the vehicle controls->lights, change from "auto" to "parking"

Good deal. That's what I'm going to do.

I am seeing this in mine also - what are the steps to get a ranger to fix?

Do you go through the app or call in to the service center or call Tesla direct?

Need to schedule an appointment with service center. Does not seem like mobile dispatch will replace the headlamp unit from other reports.

Did you miss this other post? See below. Also, mobile service coordinator said they ordered a new housing for me to be replaced with a future appointment. Didn't mention bringing it in to a center.

Ranger replaced my passenger side headlight this week. The led strip was dim on that side. Interesting to note that the new headlight aligns perfectly with the surrounding body panels. It does not protrude from the surrounding body panels like it did before and the drivers side still does. Not sure if the specs on the part changed or if a more attentive install is to take the credit.

Guess I did miss that post! oops.

someone reported a ranger was able to take care of the swap in around 3 hours

I have a service appointment scheduled for next Wednesday, and when I emailed the service center today to add this to the list I got a call back. They said since they have to order the part, we will do the service appointment as scheduled, then a ranger will come replace the headlight once it's in.

Can't you just turn on the lights and go look? It's not that complicated

Also ... it boggles the mind that a car so technologically advanced has nothing to indicate these lights are burnt out!
