Hands down the most helpful write up for model 3 owners. Way better than the instructional video the manufacturer provided.. I dont believe it was mentioned but when removing the Camera, make sure you remove the clips from the trunk and place them on the light strip. That way the camera can snap back in place. Thanks again!

Also for the model 3, I found that the long yellow connector can be plugged into the orange connector next to the left tail light harness.. that confused me because of the colors.. a better diagram would've been helpful if they provided that

Great looking product. Would love to see a few lightshows featuring this new bar on the channel. Cheers!

Yes... There's a small obstruction at the top door to being lowered as part of the install. I got used to it relatively quickly

is it possible to not have the light bar blink when turning? I just want a solid bar turned on and not do anything except just light up when the lights are on and turn off when the lights are off.

Hi Lowness, I get what you're saying and i'm guessing if someone can work out the right wire to snip then it should be possible but... It could end in killing the lights completely.

I heard these light bars are bulky and stick out from the trunk ruining the smooth aesthetic. Have you found this to be the case or does it sit fairly flush? Thanks!

It's not flush against the overhang of the boot but I wouldn't say that it sticks out too much. I personally think it looks like it came out of the factory 😁

I went through 2 of these systems. The first one never worked, and the 2nd one lasted for 1 week. Both units had a defective light bar. I had them professionally installed. After the second failure, I trashed them and put on Alpharex lighting system instead.

Great video, thanks for this....I installed this and only half of the light bar works.

In theory it's only moved downward by a few millimetres so although a slight change in the guidelines might be expected, i'd imagine that it shouldn't be by too much.
