Looks like the new headlights are on the Model Y Build Your Own tool. They seem to have a bit of a smoked tint to them. No new center console yet though.

That's great. Thanks for the info.
Did any one delivered MY recently which have the new headlights?

This will be the real test, I saw the builder lights but the image doesn’t seem to definitively indicate they’re new to me. I take delivery in a week so I will let you know. I can’t say that I’d consider delaying just for them one way or another.
Also curious if the new North American Model Y's now have new head lights? I wanted to wait for new light design before placing order.
Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing around, hopefully.
The old lights are plenty bright.

TBH I don’t know? I’ve never seen a 2020 Model Y. I’m guessing they are not?

They would not put a "tint" on the headlights. On the pic in the configurator, it does look like the housing pieces that were silver/chrome before, are now painted black. The pic of the Model 3 on the configurator shows the silver pieces in the headlight but the Y's are black... interesting.
I would be very surprised if they actually did this. I'll be looking forward to seeing new Y's delivered in the next few weeks!
I got my headlights painted black on my 3 for $500 (Yeah, I know, but the chrome bugged me) so if Tesla is now doing this then that's $500 I will save in the future on my next Tesla!

For comparisons sake, this is the picture Tesla is using for the Model 3 with the new headlights which look to have the same smoked tint to the them and pairing that with the fact that there was news that Model 3 and Y would be switching headlights over to ones that were similar to the ones they use around the world in Q1, I think we're seeing it sooner rather then later.
Model 3 Performance already coming with the new headlights? In the video, it does look like the headlight is a little darker. Not sure if US.

Don't think the new headlights are out yet, they have a projector in it not the color difference..

That picture that Itsuo-dc posted looks like it has the area where the projector headlight is separated from the reflector section.
I would actually think the projector might produce less light... unless they got some really powerful LEDs compared to spreading out four or five LES clusters...
There's lots of videos that show the new ones are actually slightly brighter with a cleaner cut off. No new MY's yet in north america with the new headlights.

I overnight test drove a new 2021 SR that had 100 miles when I picked up. I forgot to look at the vin # but here are the headlights it had. I didn't see a heated steering wheel option for those interested in that (I'm in FL so it didn't dawn on me)
I placed an order yesterday for a LR Y and the build pages had the new lights but the order confirmation has the old picture that the build page had before the MS refresh update where they updated all the build pages.
Original center console too.
