Tesla has introduced an eye-catching accessory for the Model 3 and Model Y owners in the U.S. – high-definition car door projection lights, commonly known as puddle lights. This follows their successful launch in China.
Priced at a competitive $65, these new lights offer a relatively inexpensive way to make a bold statement. The installation process is straightforward: simply remove the existing driver and passenger car door lights and replace them with the new projection lights. The entire set is designed to fit seamlessly, ensuring an easy upgrade.
Tesla ensures quality with their accessories, which is why their puddle lights stand out despite being twice the cost of some third-party options available on platforms like Amazon. The official Tesla lights project a crisp, high-definition logo onto the ground whenever the doors are opened, adding a touch of elegance and branding flair.
The installation process is simple and user-friendly. The package comes with two projection lights sized precisely for the Model 3 and Model Y. To install, you need a flathead screwdriver to pry out the old lights and then connect the new ones using the existing cable connector.
Interestingly, Tesla already offers another ambient light retrofit for the Model Y in China. This retrofit includes a 256-color RGB light setup for just $180, although it requires modifying the dashboard from wood grain to textile to accommodate the light facelift.
Thankfully, no such modifications are necessary for the Model Y projection lights. These puddle lights are user-friendly and replace the existing lights at the bottom of the front doors, both driver, and passenger sides, with no additional changes needed.
These new puddle lights not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the car but also add a functional element by illuminating the ground, making it easier to see where you step in low-light conditions.
In conclusion, Tesla’s new Model 3 and Model Y projection lights are a fantastic blend of style and functionality. They present a relatively affordable way to enhance your vehicle’s appearance while ensuring an easy installation process that can be done by anyone.
If you’re looking for a simple yet impressive upgrade to your Tesla, these projection lights are well worth considering.
