Tesla service center is quoting me $2,224 to replace the headlight plus labor. I have the exact same issue: upper strip doesn’t light. So glad you posted this video. Another post I saw said that you need to lift the car to do this replacement. Thank you for showing how to do it easily!
OMG I'm so glad that i found your video, ive been worried about this issue coming up, i bought my 2018 model S five years ago, still under warranty, and both headlights went out, so i know for a fact that they can go out at anytime now, i feared the 15 hundred dollar price tag, but with your help i now know that i can do it myself for pennies compaired to what tesla charges, they actually came to my house the second time, and didnt want me to watch them install the new one, im now thinking about ordering both headlights now, so that ill have them on hand, great video, and thank you for the demonstration on the easy install, you have a new subscriber now, keep putting out more great videos. Thank You so much.
I just bought a Model S and noticed a slightly yellow led strip. Thank you for this video, I feel confident that I can do this myself as well.
Great video. Super easy to follow. Keep up the god work sir!
Thanks for posting this video it help me save a lot of money! It was fairly easy done in about 40 min
Very Nice Man !

Thank you I am going to start upgrading my microphone and also video quality in the next videos.
Easy enough! 👍
❤❤❤you make it so easy for me thank you 🙏
Are the fog lights that easy to install? Does it automatically work despite not having the wiring to support. I have the same model and lighting package on my 2017 Model S. Thank you
Where can you buy the headlights and what do you look for a 2016 model S headlight?
Do these after market headlights fix the issue of the led strip burning out?
Are you selling the parts you ended up removing? (The smoked fog lights and blacked out louver fins)
Luckily they replaced mine under warranty. I had another one go out and decided instead to just retrofit the Matrix lights into my MSP. Much nicer lamp and hopefully these won't fail again
So further watching your video that seems like a lot of dismantle to replace the headlights wow 😮
From who on eBay did you buy the headlight? Thanks!
This is the same issue 2016-2017 Accords suffered from. Blown LED’s. Luckily Honda extended the warranty to 10 years unlimited mileage.

No kidding! That’s good that Honda allows that.
It's a crime that Tesla don't fix this even after warranty

Opening a sealed unit like a headlight assembly is super time consuming and tedious. The labor for that would be much higher than the $1500 part cost.
Nice… but how do you turn on and off the fog? There should be an option under the light settings for those MS that comes with fog but not for those without the light package. Did you program it somehow?

So Tesla used to offer this service to unlock the Foglight button, however they decided to not do it anymore sadly. There are ways around it, however that would mean you have to know a Tesla Ranger and or something else. The ones I installed actually turn on and off with the headlight, which is what I wanted anyways.
After I did this replacement my autopilot/cruise control doesn't work. Tesla service thinks I need the firmware reset. Is this a common issue after a headlight replacement?
Did the fog light toggle pop up in your lighting settings after you installed them?

this is my question as well
Not trying to downplay your work here and the video is excellent (and your car is astonishingly clean!), but personally I would fear that the replacement could break at any given time too, so it's a fix with an unknown run time. I appreciate that with this case you've only spent $200, so you would have to go through a lot to cost the same as a new light, but it might only last a month before the replacement fails. Such a shame that they didn't make this part repairable in any way.

I think the best course of action is to open up the headlight and replace the upper LED strip itself. It's a bit more intensive, but a little cheaper, and it should last quite a bit longer. I believe the new replacement glass led strips and ignitors are upgraded as well.

I seen that repair video and its a lot of work, I mean a lot of different glue, tear, screw, forget it at least if I repair my friends MS lol

200 dollars seems like a low risk move. Opening up the headlight is a lot of work. Requires softening up the adhesive with a heatgun or even your stove, then you still need to solder the LEDs in the strip. That's assuming you or anyone here knows how to do that.
Looks like that same part you have linked for the headlight is now $500. Did the price increase from $200?
No programming needed?
Hey, it caught the DRL burnout disease from your Genesis. 🤣🤣🤣

I have a RHD - do I need to indicate this when buying off eBay?
Tesla just refused to fix mine, so I’m considering doing this. They warned me that if I replace it myself there may be software update issues after I put in the new lights. Did you or anyone else here who did this experience that?

@@ideedeevg Awesome car! If you haven't received an invoice detailing the cost of replacing the headlight, it's highly likely that the repair is covered by the warranty. Typically, they provide an estimated cost before scheduling a service appointment if it's not covered by warranty.

you said you spent 200 bucks .. your links show me 499 for a single unit
I wish the price were still $200 for the headlights. It’s $500 each headlight.
Nice video but… 200$ ? No ! 500$ now.
Tesla just quoted me $5200 for the headlights for my model s 2017
Tesla shutting down Battery
It’s not that the price is $1500, the amount of work required to get to the light is laughable and insane. That is totally a $1500 dollar job for the poor Tesla dude that has to do that. No issues.
