Retrofit to matrix (global) headlights?

[terranx]

Nice. I just ordered a pair. Probably will get around to it after next week when I'm off work again.

Also FYI, if you need to adjust the horizontal aim of the headlights (it was wildly off on my Plaid from the factory), you can do so by entering the adjust headlight menu while in service mode.

Where’s do I find this

It’s the same adjust headlight menu as as usual, you just need to open it while the car is in service mode. You can then control horizontal aim with the scroll wheels (pushing left and right)

I see this in the service section when parked. So in service mode there’s another one for left and right ?

It's the same menu. But if you're not in service mode, horizontal aiming doesn't work. You would push the scroll wheel to the left and right (the diagram shows it, but on US cars it doesn't work outside of service mode)

You mean this ? So your saying I can adjust each light left/right ?

 

[terranx]

Yeah, you can adjust the vertical and horizontal aim for each headlight through that menu.

For a car that didn't come with them, I can't imagine they're going to be perfectly aimed out of the box. And like I said, my Plaid which came with them was drastically misaimed

My neighbor has a 24 MY about 2mo old. His lights ~ 32” from the gnd which is similar MX. I adjusted my headlight height based off his car. I’ll see how it goes for next few days. But looks bright. Before adjustment mine were a bit too low.

Thanks for showing this! How does the remote programming step work? I saw a video on YouTube for the MS but he mentioned he had a friend from Tesla help.

@Boxer513

Basically you’ll be allowing the developer to vpn into your computer via Anydesk. You then connect your computer to your Tesla via Ethernet port.

When you’re ready, I can DM you the developer’s contact.

Perfect thanks im gonna order the parts.

Matrix retrofit into Model X Plaid is done

Wow that was quick
Is the light output noticeable better? Worth it?

Parts required assuming the Model X has ethernet port are:
- Lights themselves
- 6 pin to 3 pin adaptor

Is that it? and then laptop/developer to reconfig?

Huge difference. I now have 4 projector lights which is brighter. I’m have a 2023 mxp (no -matrix) and my co-worker got a 2924 w/matrix. I test drove his car and noticed the light improvement at night. But currently, the matrix lights loose the slow speed head light beam with turn signals. I assume the matrix will get that back once adaptive lighting is enabled.

I just checked under the yoke and I have this plug. Is this H-MTD?

Look above the phone charger . It’s either Ethernet or H-MTD. My S has this

Ohhh didn't even know such place existed. Does that part just pull off if I wedge something in?

Yes stick a plastic pry bar to the top of it

Ordered a rad moon 2 w ethernet port, matrix headlights for model S, adapter plugs, and h-mtd to matenet data cable from china. Once all comes in I'll be ready to have my configurator guy do his magic. Hoping the rad moon and cable recognize the car just fine. Has anyone used an apple MacBook to connect to car and configure?
