ack that sucks. i wonder how easy it is to make it the manual version? how do those work anyway, do you just push it in and it will pop open? just thought about it in case i ever broke mine, plus the electric door isnt that great anyway

Looks like Evoffer is now selling oem matrix for pre-refresh. So did they modify the light or just create a harness ?

The description mentions a decoder for the early models. So I'm guessing they've deciphered the various LIN signals and are translating those.Looks like Evoffer is now selling oem matrix for pre-refresh. So did they modify the light or just create a harness ?

Do you mean the entire front facia ? I have a 21 Refresh and like yours better than mine !
I tried to pull the trigger but ended up a bit confused about the placement of some of the resistors
To my understanding:
- the 2 Ohm .25W resistors will be a total of 6: 2 on each outer light (1 on the green wire and 1 on the yellow wire) and 1 on each inner light (green wire)
- the 50 Ohm 10W resistors (orange) will be a total of 2: needs to be installed within the wiring of the car before reaching the other 2 Ohm resistor, using T-Taps? This is where i am a bit lost. Does it tap from within the wire of the car, a yellow wire? And there was a mention "not to need to cut the wire"
- The 3rd brake light resistor -- I am a bit lost there
- The 0.5 Ohm 100W resistors (green) will be a total of 2: 1 on each of the outer lights, through the yellow wire (that connects with the large plug)
am I correct?
update: I understand now the portion of the 3rd brake light based off this photo from an earlier post
Doing some more digging around throughout the thread to gather all the necessary info in one place, will update!

No just the headlights. Unless I have someone like you that want to swap the front bumpers lol.

For me 2017 MS is the B version LHD. So, it looks like straight PNP. Do you know if it is the same scenario if I get the Matrix headlights from Ebay for around ~$600 the pair and get the harness? I'm hoping for a straight PNP.Looks like Evoffer is now selling oem matrix for pre-refresh. So did they modify the light or just create a harness ?

This is for 2021 variant C which is not PNP.
* For Variant C cars, we offer like new headlight sets + adapter wire + car config change.
You need to prepare a laptop running Windows system and a Ethernet to Ethernet Cable for car config.

I believe evoffer modified the adapters. I don’t believe they sell them separately
So the 50ohm 10w resistor will install before the 2ohm resistor. One wire from the 50ohm 10w resistor will tap into the yellow and the other wire of the 50ohm 10w resistor will tap into the black/ground wire. Everything else u have it wired right
Appreciated
Pre-soldering on the tail lights side will be initiated tonight, i'll post pictures when done, so that can help others taking care of theirs when they get the chance

Here is my initial soldering process with the 0.2ohm resistors
Selected the yellow and green wires of the outer light
Snip-snip!
Swapped the shrik tubes cause the blue ones were too damn thin lol
Yellow completed, on to the green
Outer light: Green and yellow completed
Next, inner light (you see 2 green wires, however it’s a single one spliced into two. The one to select is hoing to the large plug
Done. Repeated the process for the other lights, total: 6x 0.2 ohm resistors
100W resistor for the center tail light was a breeze
Next up, i’ll attack the yellow resistors (50 ohm 10W resistors on the car side using T-Taps

Hey there, just want to make sure you used the right ones, I believe those should be 2 ohms, not .2 ohms. I believe everyone else (including me) were given instructions with 2 ohms.
