TeslaOffer "Eagle Eye" rear lights

[Durzel]

Hi,

Not seen this mentioned before, just saw it on the TeslaOffer website when looking at their auto frunk and trunk set:

Model 3/Y Eagle Eye Tail Light

Simple and elegant. This tail light is inspired by the eye of an eagle. It comes with the following features: Welcoming Animation - scanning effect for the first time when tail light is on Sequential Amber Turn Signal - sequential running effect for left and right turn signal Dual White...

$699 is a lot of money, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't smiling like an idiot at the video on the page...

‘Ow much… you’re ‘avin’ a giraffe!
can I buy just one?

Let pass the time... and the price will be affordable. Of course, on Alienexpress.

 

[Masklin]

Wonder if they’ve included the misting/fogging//water ingress feature of the original equipment?

 

[MrBadger]

Is the reversing light any brighter? Or even 2 of them?

The description suggests not, unless you order the US version.

Way too much money for these. I think the stock lights are good.

 

[michelerusso88]

whilst they incorporate many cool features that most modern rear lights have. Sweeping and dynamic indicators etc. It’s still a very poor version of it. Not enough individual LEDs to make it look smooth.

Those swooshing indicators and fancy startup sequences were fun when they first came out in Audis but now they look a bit naff IMHO. The fad has passed for me. A bit like curved and 3D TVs.

I've ALWAYS wanted progressive indicators and I was very sad that Tesla's didn't have them.

But, not at that price...

I noticed that in Europe, Tesla changed the North America's Reverse light to be only on one side and use the other side for the Rear Fog light.

This new rears lights allow having them on both side which is safer. I wonder why Tesla didn't choose this option?

However, I think the best location for Rear Fog lights should be the rear bumper at a lower hight, similar to the front fog lights

 

[MrBadger]

You only need one rear fog light - they are only for the benefit of others to know that there is a potential obstacle ahead and even a single high intensity light will do that. At a couple of hundred yards in the sort of visibility that it is legal to use rear fog lights (ie visibility less than 100m) I doubt you could even distinguish between a car with 1 or 2 rear fog lights.

But a very strong case for 2 good reversing lights. Dramatically reduces unlit areas.

 

[Durzel]

I'd be interested to see the intensity of the lights in person. As has been remarked before the single reversing light as is on the Model 3 isn't really enough to see what's going on behind you. The reversing lights in these look smaller, and possibly even less illuminating?

What would be pretty cool is if the lights (Tesla ones that is) they had RGB lights, so that the reversing lights doubled up as rear foglights.

 

[exlatccatsa]

I wonder if you could persuade them to make the lower lights with clear leds? They'd make excellent reversing lights

 

[Irata]

What would be pretty cool is if the lights (Tesla ones that is) they had RGB lights, so that the reversing lights doubled up as rear foglights.

It's a good idea and I think something similar will happen to the whole cluster, it's rather like the global headlights are now, one common unit which is configured by region in software. We can't be far from this being the more cost effective way to manufacture.

 

[Mr Miserable]

I'll wait to see if @Medved_77 installs them on his car first.

2.Europe & US: both sides are reversing lights( white color ) and no fog lights
China: Left-fog light, Right-reversing light

Presumably an MOT failure point?

 

[Jez_GB]

Presumably an MOT failure point?

i’m not so sure, iirc if fog lights are fitted they must be operational, but it is not a legal requirement that they are fitted, I’ve not checked this so

.....and a quick post post check reveals that rear fog lights are mandatory in the UK, my bad!

 

[Neilman]

My 2p worth...
Similarly, if the kit removes the fog lights but the system is still "wired" to use them will it indicate a fault.
And, if there is still a fog light "button" on the control panel, will it be classed as MOT failure because nothing happens when "pressed".
If the fog light function is removed from the control panel, and is non-existent in the tail light, then it might be OK MOT-wise.

 

[speedyranger74]

For fogs can be used the bottom reflectors from the bumper.
For now, in my car, is working light tail lights & brake.
