for the others that did the conversion how are u handling the lights now? i ordered fuse extension and have it hanging in the frunk and just remove the fuse when i dont want the lights on lmao so ghetto but its working
 
as promised the internals of the 6 pin 2023 foglight so which guru in here can figure this *sugar* out haha im tired of not having front signals haha

Here's the diagram for both old and refresh model.
If im not mistaken it seem the old fog light need headlight pin 5 LIN to get the foglight to work. Pin 1 and 4 vbatt is controlled by ECU (not sure if one for fog and side marker) Pin 2 Ti-Sync is turn signal and 3, 6 are ground.

Refresh: All pins are labeled. Question, what is pin 3 park mean? Do the old fog have a light for it? Also, does it need headlight LIN to get it to work or they're now worked independently? If someone have the refresh, can you verify it.

From the refresh model drawing. I think we all plugged the ground wires pin 3 and (6 not used) into the refresh fog light. (Wonder why both my foglights stop working).

they are asking for this info anyone in here able to get that?
Hi Chris,

Thanks for getting back in touch.

It looks like the Tesla lights use a LINbus single wire communication - we will need to look at this more to understand it.
Basically, someone needs to decode the Lin on the newer model to see what signal it's receiving. We could look at this, but we don't have the newest model to decode the LIN.

Kind Regards,

i do believe that both have park lights with your findings do you think its possible to make some sort of jumper harness that would distribute the signals needed to the proper parts?

Once my car come back from repairing, I will look into it. But it's more promising than zero knowledge than before. At least we know what wire or pin do what.

Found out the fog light turn on with DRL at the same time for the refresh model. Since I don't have my car with me, I can't verify if older model act the same way.

If this is correct, there is a Lin bus running to one of the pin.

Correction: Old and refresh model foglight turn on when headlight and DRL are on.
