Installing Tesla headlight lighting

Note: This procedure and illustrations describe how to install the left front Tesla headlight illuminator. Instructions for installing on the right side are the same but mirrored.

Caution: Do not close the door during installation. Closing the door may damage the window.

Note: Install the left (LH) Tesla headlight illumination on the left front door panel and the right (RH) Tesla headlight illumination on the right front door panel.

  • Open the left front door and fully lower the left front window. Use a small screwdriver or pry tool to pry off the entry light at the bottom of the left front door panel.
  • Press the locking tab to disconnect the entry light connector, then remove the light from the vehicle.

Caution: Do not pull the entry light too far from the door panel because the entry light connector is still stuck.

  • Align the raised grooves on the light with the corresponding opening in the door panel.
  • Connect the power cable harness to the Tesla headlight light.

Note: When the Tesla headlight light is connected, it turns on and displays the Tesla logo.

  • Insert the Tesla headlight light into the opening at the bottom of the door panel. Press firmly upwards to ensure that the Tesla headlight light clicks into the door panel.
  • Raise the left front window and close the left front door.
  • Perform this procedure again on the right side of the vehicle to install the right Tesla headlight illumination.
