that’s the problem. there aren’t any yet. i already contacted them with no response. the wiring is the issue..

I know that’s the problem… that’s why I asked here haha. These were so rushed they didn’t even send/post instructions

Hopefully your install video will be up on YouTube soon!
ran into a hiccup, drivers passenger side tail lights arent illuminating at all (both body and hatch lights). installed the oem lights and they dont work anymore either. maybe i blew a fuse messing with the included harnesses? anyone know where the fuse box for the tail lamps is? tried using the tesla service manual but the fuse section is corrupted and just give an error page..
Try Tesla Model S (2015-2017) Fuse Diagram • FuseCheck.com I’m guessing it would be “exterior light” F145 in fuse box under front hood/bonnet. Depends on your model year so you may have to search further but this site and other including a post elsewhere on TMC should have the right reference. Good luck!
thanks. i’ll check that out. now that i think of it though, if it was a fuse it would have been both sides not working right? unless the left and right are separate circuits? also have a turn signal error on screen now.
No, go into the service menu and select software reinstall.
Also, are all your cables plugged in?
ohh i’ve never played with that. maybe i’ll give it a shot. nothing to lose really right. yes all cables plugged in. just not the harnesses which i believe are for the sequential signals/welcome effect.

Try a steering wheel reboot first. Else power down the car in the menu, unplug LV battery and first responder. Reconnect and power back on.
When things get crazy, it is important to take a break and then follow a step-by-step process so you don't end up going in circles.
My suggestion:
> Keep the OEM lights plugged in and check connectors are properly engaged (undo and do them up again) and no wires have pulled out.
> Do the resets as Daytonaviolet stated (power off in Safety menu, two-button reset), but I might hold off unplugging LV and first responder until later.
Check lights and for error messages in Service menu again and if this has solved it
If no go,
> Use a 12V circuit tester and check that there is power at the plug itself (if the other side is working, you can try comparing readings). If there is power but no light, check the ground wire (not sure if the light also grounds through one of the mounting bolts, so check that these are done up). If no power,
> Check the light fuse(s). Be sure to pull up your model's fuse list, as they vary a lot.
> If the fuse is okay but there is no power to the connector then you can try the LV and first responder unplug and reset
Check for error messages again and repeat above steps to check for any changes
IMHO, reinstall SW only once you have eliminated everything else; as I understand, it will wipe all saved settings. Normally, the car circuits should reset with each power cycle, so a reinstall would likely only solve software corruption, which is highly unlikely, I would have thought.
I know from experience that if the load changes on a circuit, it can throw up warning signals. When I changed my MS 2015 headlamps from HID to LED, I had to add a resistor to the load circuit to fool it into thinking the original load was still there (as the LED headlights draw less current); otherwise, it would have shown the headlight as malfunctioning. TSportline should be able to advise if this is necessary - but this only makes any sense if the OEMs do work again and the TS still doesn't.
Good luck and keep us updated.

correct, i got ballsy at work and hastily did a reinstall. it took less than 5 min and all my settings remained.
