If there's any electrical engineers/Tesla techs out there, I need your help with something. Here's the story:
A few weeks ago, I hit a deer. The damage was relatively minor, resulting in a crack in the driver's side headlight fixture among other things. I took it to a certified Tesla body shop and I'm waiting on parts, so nothing has been fixed yet. A bummer, but not a huge deal since everything was still functional.
Then today, I decided to get a car wash. Yeah there's a crack in the headlight fixture, but it's been in several rain storms since that crack appeared and it seems to be fine. I got it done at my usual automated touchless wash.
Then later today, I decided I wanted some of my car lights to be blue so I replaced the foot well lights and all four puddle lights with Abstract Ocean blue lights. The installation was easy and uneventful, and all replacement lights seemed functional. Then I went on my merry way but as the sun went down, I discovered that my driver's side headlight (regular beam) and turn signal were no longer working. The driver's side running light and high beam are still functional. I immediately suspected the blue AO lights so I put the originals back in, but the problem was not solved.
So my question is this: which of the stupid things that I did is more likely to have messed up my car? Getting a car wash with a crack in the light or installing those AO lights?
