Nice work. I recently had to pull my bumper off my Model 3 to save about $2k in repairs. I was able to fix what needed fixing myself and it was very satisfying. You're very fortunate that the black plastic spacer under those three top bolts didn't fall out. Getting that back in there and staying in place to re-fasten the bumper was a major PIA until I finally figured out the secret... Again, very nice work and enjoyed your video! Cheers.
Hey man, thats a excellent DIY/POV video. I like it that you leave in your oopsies and booboos. Super glue and flex tape will fix it right up. I'd just like to say, dude... what a beautiful machine you have there. Even with the covers removed from the frunk. Everything is really neatly engineered into place. Nice ride!
One thing I kind of cut out because I was cussing too much and my 🍑 was hanging out was those plastic connectors across the bottom were a major pain!! I appreciate you watching and thanks for the comment!
Wow, cool that you just jumped into fixing the headlight, hats off to you So I’m posting bc my drivers side headlight on my 21 model 3 just stopped working. My service mode says it’s a problem with firmware and ecu is either dead or just talking anymore 😢. I’m gonna doing the same as you here shortly so I’m glad to see it’s not super difficult to fix it myself 😊
I wonder if the procedure is similar to have the headlight housing realigned? One headlight has a larger gap between the top of the light and the fender. Tesla mobile service is coming out and they better not tell me it's within spec.
Appreciate it. Mainly wanted to convey that I was just following instructions I found from someone else, I would not have known this on my own. Thanks for the watch and the comment :)
@@Crazypostman Came across your video, because just this morning, I noticed my driver side headlight was out. The whole light. Parking light, headlight and bright headlight, all dead. Weird thing is, the car didn’t even give me a message to state that the headlight is out. My 20 year old BMW will eliminate a dash light when one of the lights are out. But my Model 3 doesn’t show anything. Not sure why the headlight went out. Just stopped working all of a sudden. So I have been researching costs, and how to replace them. Because I am not going to take it to Tesla. They will charge so much more.
@@KrisFlix yeah they are very expensive That's why I went the eBay route... From what I can remember I didn't get a warning either I just noticed it myself.
You may not have intended to create a "how to" video but you actually did it. Thanks for recording your experience. Question, did you need any extra parts besides just the Headlamp Assembly? I was thinking I might also buy new plastic connectors across the bottom - would that have helped?
I did not need any extra parts... Now saying that I did break a few connectors I just left them out 😂 so having spare would probably not be a bad thing
I have an odd problem with my model 3 2019. I correctly installed the headlights and made sure the connections still worked with my old lights, but they REFUSE to turn on with the VLAND brand headlights. Is this a 12v issue or something with the Tesla computer? I reached out for support from their website, but haven’t heard back yet. Anyone else experience something like this? (Lucky your Tesla worked as soon as you plugged those wires in. I just want things to work the first time 😭)
Strange, I'm sure it's software related somehow. I used an authentic Tesla headlight I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Any kind of errors in service mode?
Hi there, By any chance, did you have any delays on that headlight when you unlock the car from the app or something. I just replaced the same side and when it unlock de car every light turn on before that specific headlight. It takes about 1-3 seconds before turn on 😩
Wow this is an old video you found I've had two different electric cars since this 😂 from what I remember, I didn't have to do any calibration the car recognized them no problem. They did self-calibrate but you can still manually adjust aim through the vehicle settings. I always aim my lights a little lower because I hate to blind people.
Did you have to get a Tesla update after install? I’m thinking about buying a used headlight from eBay but everybody seems to say you will need to program / update after Install
For anyone wondering I ordered a used oem headlight from eBay for 100 bucks and replaced and did not need updated at all it was plug and play…..thanks for your help!
Mine broke when a piece of debris got kicked up on the freeway. I think Im going to dive in and try this. Any chance you guys can link to the light you bought? Thanks, awesome video!
If your replacement doesn't work you need to "Reinstall the software" which is super easy, on the display click on software -- where it says Model 3 or Model Y hold your finger on the word model for about 5 seconds a password screen will come up and the password is: service In the service menu click the "reinstall software" and let that finish -- exit service mode by holding exit service Boom your eBay light is now programmed to the car and works...
No, I don't seem to have had that problem. I plug them in and they kind of self calibrated. I did go in the menu and adjust the beam height a little bit but that's all I did
Great job! You taught many of us a lot. Thank you.

This will help out when I need to do it. Very entertaining. Love the outakes. Thanks CP.

@@Crazypostman I'm really digging your channel. Though I don't own a Tesla and could never afford one, I enjoy seeing modern tech being utilized.
I love this. I just ordered a RH Headlight, am waiting for it to drop then I fix it

You said you’re not a mechanic and don’t do these kinds of things? Well you did an excellent job, for being your first time and all.

No need to reprogram restart the whole car for new headlight to work ?
Thanks for your video I was able to walk right through this ...
Great video!! I love the dog. 🐕
I was shocked I got it in and it worked! For so cheep too!

That’s exactly what I was looking for someone NOT removing the whole bumper …
Great video buddy! How long did it take ?
I don't think it took me too long Maybe an hour-ish. But this was over 2 years ago I might not be remembering right 😂
Hi there,
By any chance, did you have any delays on that headlight when you unlock the car from the app or something. I just replaced the same side and when it unlock de car every light turn on before that specific headlight. It takes about 1-3 seconds before turn on 😩
Do you get any error notifications? They are just plug and play? No calibration? Amazing video!

Awesome video! Where did you find B stock??
eBay
Great job ,buddy .
Congrats on a successful job. I hope I never need it but if I do, I know where to come.
Hi, is your headlight OEM or aftermarket?
@@Ace-f1h3h Both the broken one and the new one are OEM
LED lights? Price ? Year model? Thanks still good video. You can never learn enough.
I do believe Tesla headlights are LED. This is just a stock headlight that I got on eBay was about $145
Why other side cannt u just loosen up one side ?
That weapon is for toeing the car. There is a place in the front bumper
Haha, I know. it's kind of a inside joke in the EV community.
That’s a tow hook in the frunk
Where did you get the headlight? How much?
eBay, some company was selling brand new B stock. This was a long time ago now, It was 175 at the time
Thanks. Do I seats headlight b stock?
Did you have to get a Tesla update after install? I’m thinking about buying a used headlight from eBay but everybody seems to say you will need to program / update after Install
I didn't do any updates, if there was one it happened automatically. I did reaim the headlight after I installed it using the settings
For anyone wondering I ordered a used oem headlight from eBay for 100 bucks and replaced and did not need updated at all it was plug and play…..thanks for your help!
Mine broke when a piece of debris got kicked up on the freeway. I think Im going to dive in and try this. Any chance you guys can link to the light you bought? Thanks, awesome video!
Real quick what year is this
2019
Do u have to swap ECU? No software reinstall?
@@ArijuNSA216 No, it just worked when I hooked it up. If the car changed any software, it did it automatically.
If your replacement doesn't work you need to "Reinstall the software" which is super easy, on the display click on software -- where it says Model 3 or Model Y hold your finger on the word model for about 5 seconds a password screen will come up and the password is: service

Boom your eBay light is now programmed to the car and works...
Did you have to do do a headlight reset. I got mine replace and it won’t switch off.
No, I don't seem to have had that problem. I plug them in and they kind of self calibrated. I did go in the menu and adjust the beam height a little bit but that's all I did
@@Crazypostman ok thanks will try that
@@MrGrantboibro I’m dealing with that what did you do?
