Fluorescent Headlight "Eyebrow" Dying

[Q Bar]

He also looked at the yellow band around my center screen (just came up a couple weeks ago). He said Tesla still doesn’t have a fix, but acknowledged that he had heard about the UV light treatment.

Apparently the UV fix is slowly rolling out.

MCU Yellow Border - Fixed!

So, is it a permanent fix and is it for free????

Permanent fix: unknown, even tesla have admitted they don't know how long it will last and if it's permanent.
Free: Yes, the first time. Apparently every additional time will be charged, but Tesla won't and can't get away with charging for something like this.

My driver side developed this a few days ago, along with the yellow band around the screen. I sent an email about both issues and a day later a mobile service appointment got scheduled without any other information. Still trying to figure out what they're planning to do on the mobile service date, but they didn't even ask availability. My work is super flexible though so I'll be fine.

These are LED as i've opened the headlights before. There a 4 groupings of 3 LED's that illuminate the eyebrow. They are very small 1.6mm Luxeon Z ES LED's. I've tried to repair these but its hard since they are so tiny.

How hard to take apart and replace all THE LEDS in headlight eyebrow? How to get apart? Is there a YOUTUBE on the process? Tesla wanted $1700 for Ranger to come to house and replace headlight as I am out of warranty. Any other hints?. TIA Hotrodder

Confused here. Die or Dye? Are you saying there is some sort of Dye in the eyebrow part? Or is it that this portion of the LED is getting dim and yellow? If LED failing, I would guess a warranty issue.

Oh and it is not Fluorescent lighting. They are LED.

Wow that's so helpful
