For those who keep asking, the lights will turn off automatically once your car goes into deep sleep, since the power to the 12v outlet will also turn off in deep sleep. Just make sure you have Sentry mode set to disable when you are at home or at a favorite location. Keeping Sentry mode on keeps the car always awake, thus power always stays on to the 12v outlet You can also just turn off the lights remotely using the app on your iPhone.
That''s stil a lame solution, you need both sentry mode ON, and LEDs to go OFF automagically. There has to be a way to accomplish this through the OBD interface, based on what is on/off in the car the LED strip should be off. But this is not one of those kits.
Got my M3 LR about 3 months ago and had to go out of town for work for a month! Can’t wait to get back home to start doing some cool things. Thanks for the lighting update! I just subscribed.
How are these holding up now ? I’d like to get these but am hesitant due to thinking once the summer comes and the car sits in the heat, that glue holding the wires on the seat backs will come right off.
Unfortunately no, since teslas are constantly powered by the battery the lights will stay on when you exit the car unless you use the switch to turn them on and off. Plus you wouldn’t want them turning on during the day!
Hey Mike. Since it’s been a few years I’m wondering with all the new kits on the market if you have a favorite out now. Something with footwell and strips. So many out there now it’s hard to decide. Looks like a lot you can hook in to power a rear ac instead of all in the armrest. And a lot have auto off and on as well.
Will this make the battery shorter on the tesla? I am really debating if I should buy it or not if it will significantly shorten the battery per charge.
I want to put these on for my 2024 model y but I only see them available from 2021-2023 do you think it’s possible they could fit for a 2024 or is there another version of these you can recommend
Hi Mike Just took delivery of my Model 3 and installed the light strips today. Question though… how did you route to center counsel? Can’t figure out an easy way to get them all in without interfering with it closing. Feel like I need to disassemble and drill an access hole near the bottom side out of sight.
Got the same kit, main issue is there is no lighting visible during daytime, do you find that you have the same problem? Trying to figure out a way to possibly brighten them.
Hey there thanks for putting up yet another great video. I was wondering if you could comment on a couple concerns I have read in various comments. How well does the 3m tape work? Do you feel it is sticky enough or should a better brand be purchased for this. second, I already replaced my food lights with a different color so i wont be wanting to install any of the foot lights. Is it possible to do that or is it required for the install? Lastly, I notice all the videos of the installation show the wire on the dash being installed by the vents. I was wanting to install it along the curve closer to the windshield. Is there enough clear wire for this? Cheers!
I don't understand one thing... the light under your feet in front, isn't the original one already present? putting the colored ones, how do they work? do they replace the original ones? or the original ones must be eliminated,
How do you feel about the inconsistency with the amount of light you get from the end where the light is actually coming from to the middle to the other end?
On the new kit it’s a huge improvement, you can’t really tell on video but it’s evenly lit from end to end, the problem is where the wire bends it creates a color difference at each end =\ im thinking to add black electrical tape to each end to prevent it 🤔
@@MikeSeuss I definitely feel like if I’m going to spend $100 I should at least get led strips with those translucent strips to even out the lights. Thanks for the video man !
Hi Mike, are 1) lights going to automatically turn off after we lock the car (because I hope not to press the switch manually)? If not, how many minutes after will it turn off? 2) Did the dashboard piece stick well? Did it fall off due to the air conditioner? thank you so much!!!
Unfortunately since the power is always on in the tesla the lights will stay on if you leave the car. You’ll need to press the button, but it’s super simple just one click right in the center console! And yes the lights stick well, my previous set has been on for a year with no issues when using AC or heat. The new set is holding up well also!
I like this kit however some of the lights i find to be "Too much" wil it work if i dont connect some - such as the run across the dash? (Just personal preference - love your videos)
I really want these lights. But I am afraid to install them. It looks easy but I know I will screw it up installing them. I will have to find someone to do it for me.
The lights are LED so they are very energy efficient, I only use them at nice and haven’t noticed any negative effects on range, been using them for over a year!
I was curious about the performance of these lights for the Tesla I've recently ordered and waiting delivery on. Have you looked into the Govee Car lights by chance as well? You won't get all of the trim lighting, but I feel like the LED performance for the foot wells it provides might be much brighter. They also make an exterior kit!
Hello, when I put the led strip around the console, I have the impression that my sliding cover of the storage space in the front closes more difficult because the silver edge is pressed against the cover by the led strip. so scratches can occur because it sands. did you not experience that?
Hey, I haven’t experienced this at all, had two sets of strips since last year. I’m not sure why it’s happening to you, have you been able to resolve the issue?
Hello, i will check it tomorrow what i can do. 2 LED strips were delivered. 1 for the center console and 1 for my dashboard. does it make a difference which strip you use? could that be the problem? the sides were easy to place, the front and the corners I had to press hard.
As always, another great video. Well done Mike! Not only very informative, but well produced. I would love to see a video comparing your former Tesla light system with your new Nestour system. I installed a Basenor in my Tesla, but never use the features (like changing to the music) largely because the app (Lotus Lantern) is so bad. You have me thinking of making a switch too. Keep up the great work and useful content!
Hey it’s pretty much the same except the quality of the strips and lighting is improved. The app is basically a generic repurposed app but I’ve had no complaints with the old or new versions
I have the model 3 standard range plus. Will it work just as well in my car? I do not have footwell lights that seem to work. I think they're turned off by software.
Hey fam. I would get it right away, but I’m in Canada, and they’re not on our website here and buying them from Amazon US shipping is ridiculous. I’ll keep watching Amazon Canada for it tho.🙏🏾
I love the white interior, I feel it makes the car feel much more spacious and brighter giving it a fresh feeling. The white seats come coated with protection and is very easy to maintain. After over a year my seats still look brand new!
Not sure why the app has two stars it works perfectly fine to me, I think it’s a universal app used for all different kinds of LED products that’s probably why
Bought these based on a bunch of Tesla TH-camr reviews. These are absolute TRASH! The led / neon glow strips are dim as hell and look like crap! Why are you promoting these?
Not sure which ones you bought but I’ve had mine installed for years and even until this day they look great. You can see exactly how mine look in the video. I’m obviously promoting them because I really like them.

I have a kit that automatically turns on when the headlights turn on at night
do you have link for buy your kit? @@1pCarlos
@1pCarlos can you share what that kit is or how it's wired differently? Thank you.
Im definitely buying those, once I get a Tesla! Great video and congrats on the 10K!!! Well deserved
Thank you!
Just ordered a pair and my Tesla can’t wait
Nice you’re going to love it

Awesome congrats!
Congrats on 10k definitely would do this to my Tesla
Thank you!
Getting my MYP in 2 weeks and going to grab these for sure!!
Nicee congrats!
How are these holding up now ? I’d like to get these but am hesitant due to thinking once the summer comes and the car sits in the heat, that glue holding the wires on the seat backs will come right off.
Had mine on since 2021, and they're still attached perfectly and work like new. Withstood the hot parking lots in the Florida heat!
Does it turn on and off when you enter the car and exist ? Without using the app
Unfortunately no, since teslas are constantly powered by the battery the lights will stay on when you exit the car unless you use the switch to turn them on and off. Plus you wouldn’t want them turning on during the day!
I'm sure you could tap the power into you headlights to have it powered when headlights are on.
The updated model S cigarette plug auto shuts off when u exit the vehicle and it powers down. But yeah the 3/Y don’t right now.
@@raheeb1where can I find the updated model

What I wanna know is what PC live wallpaper is that? Looks very nice👍
Sorry I'm not sure
Great video. Happy trails!
Thanksb
I wish I had someone able to install it in my country… beautiful!
It’s very easy to do on your own!
Is there a specific model for v2020? I have a SR+ and deactivated ambient light is really a minus.
Will this make the battery shorter on the tesla? I am really debating if I should buy it or not if it will significantly shorten the battery per charge.
Not at all! The lights are LED which draws very little power, you won’t see a difference =)
I want to put these on for my 2024 model y but I only see them available from 2021-2023 do you think it’s possible they could fit for a 2024 or is there another version of these you can recommend
They will fit the 2024, the interior is exactly the same
Amazon reviews are pretty hit or
Miss. Seems to be a lot of complaints with the longevity of the lights
Hmm, my previous pair lasted a year without any issues, so far so good with this set!
@@MikeSeuss good to know thank you
that looks sick! 😮

Can’t figure out an easy way to get them all in without interfering with it closing. Feel like I need to disassemble and drill an access hole near the bottom side out of sight.
I stuffed everything in as well, it is a little much. =\
Awesome video. Please make a post after a few weeks if the seats and dash strip stay in with the 3m tape.
I do updates on my Instagram! As far as the old set I had it for a year with no problems with the tape!
@@MikeSeuss awesome what is ur IG ? So I could follow u.
Mike, is the trim for the lights visible during the day? Also, do you know of any that may fit a model S?
The trim is clear and is not noticeable unless you're looking for it. Im not sure of a version for the Model S
Got the same kit, main issue is there is no lighting visible during daytime, do you find that you have the same problem? Trying to figure out a way to possibly brighten them.
I don’t think it’s possible
Do you manually have to turn them on and off every time you get in?
Unfortunately yes, with a click of button!
If you turn sentry mode off no, they’ll turn off and on automatically
Oh hel nah I ain’t doing all that to my 2022

Can you recommend somewhere in Charlotte to get these installed if we aren’t confident in our ability to do so ourselves? 🤣
Same question here.
Im sorry I don't know of a place but the installation is pretty straight forward, its near impossible to mess up. You got this!
I’m 16 and just did it on mine trust me you can do it too
Any difference in mileage after using this plugged in?
No noticeable different, the LEDs are extremely low powered
I don't understand one thing... the light under your feet in front, isn't the original one already present? putting the colored ones, how do they work? do they replace the original ones? or the original ones must be eliminated,
The stock lights can be shut off in the menu. The colored one is a separate light
How do you feel about the inconsistency with the amount of light you get from the end where the light is actually coming from to the middle to the other end?

Thanks!

Do the lights automatically turn on and off with the car?
You’ll have to turn them on and off manually
No cutting or splicing of the cars wires.
I like this kit however some of the lights i find to be "Too much" wil it work if i dont connect some - such as the run across the dash? (Just personal preference - love your videos)
Yup, it will!
The dash light look significantly brighter on the passenger side. Does it look like that in person?
From side to side it’s even in person except for very ends which are brighter due to the bends in the wire, but it’s even on each side.
Awesome video! Quick question, how bright are the lights in the day time?
They cant really be seen in the daytime
Love it man! Sweet.
👍🏾
I really want these lights. But I am afraid to install them. It looks easy but I know I will screw it up installing them. I will have to find someone to do it for me.
I have faith in you, it’s very easy and hard to mess up!
Does it work on model X
Not this kit specifically, but you may be able to find a kit for the Model X
Hey! I tried to watch your full installation video but it says it’s private. Is it available anywhere else?
Hey so the full installation video that I have linked is from the company who makes the lights, im not sure why they made it private
Looks awesome!!!
Thanks!!
Do you know where I could get a Model S kit? Nestour does not seem to make one
Unfortunately I haven’t found any light kits made for the S. Hopefully sometime in the near future they will make one!
Thanks!
You got it!
Looks cool! Good job.
Thank you
How does it affect the battery? Does it take some Miles of it when its turned on?
The lights are LED so they are very energy efficient, I only use them at nice and haven’t noticed any negative effects on range, been using them for over a year!
Ohh was that a Cayman in the background? 😮
Yep haha I have pictures of it in my latest video that I posted 👀

Hello! I was trying to access the FULL in depth video but it's private
Hey it’s the company’s video im
Not sure why they made it private
@@MikeSeuss can't I just use it for the model S though? lol
Can this fit 2021+ model S teslas? I see videos everywhere for 3/Y but nothing for S/X (except the 2020 and pre-refresh)
I don’t believe there are any options for the model S or X. Hopefully that will change soon!
@@MikeSeuss that's really unfortunate as I believe this is one of the single best upgrades you can do for Teslas
After a year how is it working?
Works great still no issues at all, I ended up removing the back seat light after installing seat covers
Hello,

Compatible with ALL model 3s 👍🏾
I have the model 3 standard range plus. Will it work just as well in my car? I do not have footwell lights that seem to work. I think they're turned off by software.
Yup it will work perfect in all models, the kit comes with the footwell lights and are controlled separately from the teslas system
Those are nice. 👌🏾
Get em while they’re hot!
Hey fam. I would get it right away, but I’m in Canada, and they’re not on our website here and buying them from Amazon US shipping is ridiculous. I’ll keep watching Amazon Canada for it tho.🙏🏾
Do you recommend the white seat colour in the Tesla?

2 star app?

does it void the tesla warranty?
Nope
My old ass doesn't stay up and rarely go out after dark so this would be a waste for me lol.
Haha get out the house!
I got these months ago.
Nice are you enjoying them?
Hey so the full video is private
It’s the companies video not sure why it’s private!
Can you remove the dashboard piece later without removing the light strip if you do that?
The strip gets attached to the dashboard, so if you take off the dashboard the light strip comes along with it =\
Does this work for other cars?
There are kits for other cars but they’re universal and not specifically made for each car
@@MikeSeuss i know bro but i mean this kit is nice so i wondered if i can use this on my car to ( Mustang Mach E)?
Could this work on a Y 2023?
Yup, they make a version for the Y in the same link
Hello, does this ambient light fit 2022 model 3 as well?
Sure does!
How much does it affect the battery percentage?
Not at all, they’re low powered LED, eve. If you left them running overnight by mistake you won’t notice a drop in battery from the lights
would this work on a model s ?
Not this kit, but there may be others out there for the model S and X
Why it's different from thumbnail?
It’s the exact same kit as thumbnail. The lights are much dimmer in the thumbnail which makes the lights appear more vivid.
@@MikeSeuss Just that in thumbnail it looks like you have wooden trim + speakers with lights too. Thanks for answer though.
doesnt work on Tesla S ?
Not this kit, hopefully they will make one specifically for the S and X soon!
Where are you located...I want to pay you to do mine..
It’s not as hard as it looks, I have faith in you!
Are these universal or just for teslas
This kit is made specifically for Tesla. However there are other universal options out there for all cars
Not bad can you do that without doing the seats?
Yup just install the dash and console or just the dash or console. It’s versatile
This is very good solution. Installation is easy. But Power connection is not good. Car cigarette lighter is too old way.
I agree
@@MikeSeuss like your video always !
The bending edges look very cheap
I agree
Can you see them in the daytime? That’s my only issue, I don’t want to see them!
Nope they’re clear and plus they’re hidden, you can’t even tell they’re there!
Product rating 1.9/5 sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesh
