Yes, thanks. I had picked up on that as well in the above threads. Will report back to the thread with results/findings, etc.

easiest way is to use the app to "flash" your lights, no need to find a liquor store

I'm having my driver's side light replaced on Friday for this issue. Must be super common. I hope they aren't leaving the factory like this anymore.
This may be something a mobile tech can do. May want to call Tesla to see if you can save a trip.

They’re difficult to see looking directly into the light, so it’s much easier to distinguish in a reflection. Also, the lights aren’t burning out, so there is nothing electrically that could tell you there is a problem.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!
The failure is that the LED strip is becoming detached inside the housing and it slides out of view. If you look into the housing at certain angles, the LED strip can be spotted further back, but at normal angles it appears that it just died.
So an update on this issue.
I had the original driver’s side signature light completely dead, but the replaced with one that was “dimmer”. They replaced it with a third one that also was showing “dimmer”, so decided to escalate to engineering. After doing more tests they found that the signal from the car to turn the signature light on was not there so suspect a software issue. Engineering is continuing to look into it given the number of “failures” (SC’s demo has the same issue).
Just thought I’d let people know a firmware fix may be required!

Updating my update. Had the 2’nd new drivers side HL installed today. When I got home I checked the new invoice against the last one. The last 3 digits of the part # for the first replacement were -00G and the last 3 digits for the new one today are -00I (I as in ‘eye’). HOPEFULLY this is positive sign. Anyone else have any part #’s (last 3 digits) to share?

Mine was replaced August 9th.
Line item on invoice: HD/LP ASY, SAE UP-LEVEL, LH (1077371-00-I)
Great! Lets keep this going. My first replacement that subsequently re-failed was definitely a -00-G. This indicates -00-I has been used as a replacement for at least 1 1/2 months. Thats the number we want to track for subsequent failures.
For those interested there is another thread on M3OC:

Sorry for the delay, ended up getting it swapped a week ago for a new revision (paperless service so no replacement number). They also mentioned a software update (assuming 32+), but let’s see if it holds. Thanks everyone for the info!
