He seemed to be genuinely unaware of the scope of the issue. He did say he's replaced a lot of S headlamp assemblies.Did the ranger say if revision F holds up better?
13 months after customer pay. Would be the 4th light on this side. I think I am going to keep my eyebrow waxed from now on.
So officially two lights are now worth 10% of my cars value according to trade in value from Tesla as of last month.

How hard is it to DIY replace these? I understand bumper has to come off, but I'm not sure how hard that is on this car.
Disappointed that Tesla wouldn't goodwill that repair considering you already had out of pocket expenses due to what is an obvious design flaw from Tesla's side.
Has anyone attempted to take apart the headlights and repair them?
I see threads with older headlights being taken apart and painted black and upgrading components but nothing on these current headlights.
I mean someone has to have made an attempt right?
HOW TO: Replace Headlights in Refresh (2016+) Model S
So like many others, I've been having issues with my DRLs "burning out" on my Model S. I'm on my 4th set of headlights now. Tesla has changed revisions of the headlights throughout the years and we are now on revision F (mid 2021). Let's hope that the problem doesn't come back. The DRL's...teslamotorsclub.com
I did the replacement myself the other week and posted a how-to. Overall it was pretty easy. I'm on the F revision for both sides now. Hopefully these ones last longer than a year.
My left light has failed, waiting on the right side to do the same. Did you get the F revisions from Tesla and install it yourself then? Or got them from E-Bay?
I'm waiting to see if these F revisions do fix the problem before I look into replacing them myself. Or go snip a wire and disable them permanently.
My passenger headlight eyebrow had developed the dim yellow on the inside edge closest to the car nose, as many have posted here, and was replaced under warranty by mobile service. After getting the new one (F revision), it is nice an uniform. But that made me realize that the driver side one is not evenly lit.
Although hard to capture in the photo without overblowing the highlights, in person the center 50% of the eyebrow is noticeably dimmer than either the inside or outside edge. It was not glaringly obvious when compared to the failure on the passenger one, so I didn't bring it up with the service center until seeing what a new replacement looks like.
Mobile service came out and said it is LED degradation, but not outright failure. They said a "section" actually has to be "completely out" for warranty replacement.
I don't mind the unevenness if it stays like this, as it's relatively subtle in most circumstances. but, I'm just wondering if this is an impending sign of failure in a few months (when I'll be out of warranty)?
