If anyone is interested in changing their High Beams to LED. Here is a good deal. Use coupon code S9KN2WK8 for $15 off. The High Beam is H9.

LOL... I wonder how does the projector work with the light on the side instead of directly pointing down.

jeez, all this fuss. It is literally the first upgrade I did. My younger brother sat in the car who watches videos of luxury cars all day and hopes of owning one someday. He goes "oh this is just like Range Rover". Multiple compliments from my Dates. Parents were also impressed.

I'll take a few shots tonight and attach it, just waiting for it to get Dark.

I went through 2 sets of these projectors, I think my LED was melting the small lens. I am back to the OEM lens now.

Thank you to all who helped. I ended up replacing the 16 bulbs with Philips 194 LEDs. I am very happy with the results. The process was relatively painless also. I am now debating if I should change the rear side markers - I don't see a lot of discussion about it. If the tail lights are already LED, will you notice much difference if the rear side markers are changed? The rear backup lights looks challenging, is it? I have the 921 bulbs already from my last car.

Woke up early this morning... and decided to install the hitch receiver as well. Took less than 30 mins thanks to all the pics posted and advice given! Dealer also installed door edge guards.

Decided to get some paint protection film installed given the constant rock chips on the Baltimore Beltway. Chose the new SunTek film since it came with a 10yr transferable warranty on peeling/fading/bubbling and got some great feedback on the Tesla forums. Went with full hood/front fenders/bumper/mirrors/and headlights. First few pics are of the install and the last pic is the finished product. Looks so much "glossier" now and extremely difficult to even see that it is on until you get up really close. Will post another update once it's been on for a few weeks and absorbed a few rock chips so you guys can see how the "self-healing" aspect holds up.

Next up: Beat Sonic IF-04EP Smartphone mirroring kit.




You can kind see where they needed to cut in for the complex angles on the GX.
Mirror protection.
Finished install.

Interesting.. I don't think I've ever seen a front side fenders covered. Nice protection.

Installed the Philips hid kit (5k gives the factory look without it being too blueish) and bumper plugs to cover the license plate holes.
