Improved Trunk lighting - Is there demand?

No, there's also lights in the bottom of the doors (and red lights on the side of the doors). They all use the same type of lamp, which is very convenient!

Yep. The photo way up-thread shows the Tesla/OEM version, and mine, shown again below. The Tesla lamp can be taken apart, but it's really difficult with the right tools, yet alone without tools, so the only option for an easy install was to fully replicate the entire assembly.

Great! Thanks for the images. I'm subscribed to the thread, but somehow managed to miss them. I'm definitely in. Let us know when preorders/orders open and I'll be there. :biggrin: This might eliminate one of my remaining complaints about the car and having to park in dark underground garage at home and at work every day.

I would maybe buy the trunk and footwell ones after I saw some A/B comparisons. Price point is reasonable so that's good. For the record I have replaced my license plate lights with LED and that's it

I'm definitely interested. Count me in for the full set. Actually until I read this thread I didn't even know there were puddle lights in the bottom of the doors.

I haven't even gotten my car yet, and I'm confident I'll be ordering at least the trunk, but probably the entire set!
Great, thanks all, for the support. I've pulled the trigger on mass production, so while that gets going we're going to work on packaging and some other logistical details. The end of September is probably quite optimistic, more likely some time in October, but either way I'll update this thread with any progress, and open up pre-orders once I have a definite date. This is by far the largest upfront investment we've made in a new product, so it's a little daunting, but knowing there's support out there helps a lot.

Btw Pete, my detailer today commented on how much he liked the AO screen protector (HD glossy) in my car. It just goes to show that you make great products. I haven't done the license plate lights yet, but probably would order them at the same time as these. If you end up bundling a 5-pack, I won't object (4 for doors and 1 for frunk in my case)!

Thanks. Still working on packaging, it can get quite complicated....Chances are good the packaging will hold up to 4 bulbs (plus pry bar), but we're still messing with options.

It's been a long week! Getting there, slowly...

But as fast as I can...if we end up using blister packs (as we do for the licence plate bulbs) then there's a production run needed for those too, since these are a non-standard size.
We'd like a set or two so thank you for doing what Tesla should have done--the Sun must never set in CA? Crazy that we have to go aftermarket to see in the trunk!
Also, please let us know if you want some local test subject cars for fit and compatibility. Our VINs run from an early 2013 MS (VIN P06611) to a brand new 70D made in July.

Thanks, will do. Depending how the various production schedules line up, I might have the bulbs before the packaging, in which case I might offer a few for a reduced price in return for (technical) feedback. Still at least a few weeks away from that though.

Would be happy to help out, let us know! The stock lighting situation in the trunk is pretty bad.
