Tesla Model 3 / Y LED Fog Lights / Turn Signals Installation (detailed step by step)

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

I am extremely impressed with these! I wasn’t too happy with the rear ones, because you had to give up the reflectors that enable your car to be seen when parked on a dark street.

[@TeslaDIY]

Yeah, i aint' gonna lie, i like these ones much more

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@TeslaDIY Excellent, I agree with the Tesla DIY man!

[@SamKyosho]

Just added these, they look ok in the day, but night time performance vs the OEM fogs is weak. I'd say the OEM fogs are 5x brighter with a wider throw on the corners

[@SHABZILLA]

Great job explaining the whole process in detail. Editing and camera work is top notch bro!

[@TeslaDIY]

Likewise brother, you know what’s up! And thanks!

[@Firehuntah]

"It's very safe because.... it's called the safe jack." 🤣 Nice one haha! Really cool video again, very helpful to those who want to install these lights. Always enjoy watching these install videos, even though I might not even get these. 😋 It's at least good to know the bumper doesn't have to come off to get to the fog lights.

[@TeslaDIY]

Haha yes! Safejacks is pretty self explanatory haha and thanks as always!

[@Firehuntah]

@@TeslaDIY I really like using them too. Just when lifting the front only or rear only it's a bit sketchy sometimes. But it might just be the slightly uneven floor here. My jack can't really move on it so it basically pulls the car while jacking it up. Wish I had a proper floor in or nearby my garage, would make things much easier for sure.

[@TeslaDIY]

@@Firehuntah haha I know what you mean, it get sketchy and your car dangles mid air for a bit

[@JaeTheDev]

After installing these in my MYP, I lost the fog light icon. The button is still there to turn on and off and it works, but the icon is now gone. Any clue on how to get it to return?

[@TeslaDIY]

I have no idea, I only have these on my Model 3, My Model Y still has the OEM fogs, but it works all normally on my Model 3

[@SHABZILLA]

What a sweet mod! Gonna look into these for sure.

[@S1RJCZ1NG]

Thank you for the in-depth detail and how to install this thing, the only thing I disagree with is the "safe Jack".... I would never trust my ridiculously expensive car to a jack sold by harbor freight tools....ever

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks! I had no idea harbor freight sells safe jacks

[@scarvalho1]

I don't understand the need to remove the side cameras and hook up a wire to them for just installation of fog led lights. What does the side cameras have to do with fog led lights??

[@TeslaDIY]

These aftermarket fog lights also work as sequential turn signals, so the wire to side camera is to get signal from the turn signal indicator on the side camera

[@ananwolf]

Great video, the T connector link is broken, can you update with another?

[@TeslaDIY]

Love the videos and process of your Tesla’s. From when I last inquired I’m still in the market for a model y, but your 3 is done very classy IMO. When I receive m6 Tesla there is no way I could lower it though because in my region the routine pot holes at times are as large as the wheels, lol.

[@TeslaDIY]

Awww man thanks! Yeah this car has come a long way! All thanks to all the support and sponsors. Really got lucky meeting the right people and lucky to have such a supportive following on both my KZbin and ig!

[@regarday366]

I bought these lights, but don't think I have fog light option so I need to use the extra harness. I know you didn't need it, but I can't find wiring diagram or instruction anywhere on where/how to plug the extra harness to make the lights work. Can you or anyone else on here help? TIA......BTW.....REALLY appreciate your vids.

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks a lot for your support on my videos! I have not done an install on a car without factory fog lights but I have friends on my Instagram who told me how they went about installing. This is what he said. He did not remove wheels, nor out the car up on jack stands, he removed front bumper instead. At first, He tried to tap power from the headlight but the fog lights stayed on even after he locked the car so that was a no go. Then he used the cable and tap plug it at the rear deck speakers...that was a PITA to work in that area. Good luck 😅

[@armandoarce1684]

Awesome, video thank you so much! Do you know if the Standard range has all the wiring reuqired to make these work?

[@TeslaDIY]

Hello Armando, i think for standard range, there is still different trims, like if you have the SR + with the upgraded options, you get OEM fog lights, then you probably have the oem wiring harness, otherwise, you will need to use the aftermarket harness provided, to run it behind your front bumper to the fog lights and oem power source. I have not done that part before and dont know how difficult it is. You can check if you have fog lights by going to your menu, to see if there is a fog light button to turn it on and off, or just step out of your car to see if the fog lights turns on or not

[@Gsensei63]

Great explanation you did a awesome job showing us how to wire this up. Keep up the great work love the video's!

[@TeslaDIY]

Awww thanks man! Means a lot, I tried to cover every little step!

[@henrykwan1601]

Are these brighter than the projector foglights? I’m looking for something that’s bright because when I tint my headlights it decreases visibility. So I’m looking to get brighter fogs

[@TeslaDIY]

Check my channel community post, I posted side by side comparison, but the aftermarket lights do seem to spread out more which result in not as “focus” or “direct” so it does loses some brightness

[@NJturtlePower]

So what happens if you don't use the yellow wire? Just lights up white all the time like the OEM ones?

[@TeslaDIY]

i believe so, since the yellow is just a signal which gets trigger by the oem turn signal wire to make it blink in amber. but i could be wrong, i did not do any experiment as i only did the install the way it was intended and thats how i want it

[@shawndi5683]

Great video ! Do you know of anyone that have video instructions on how to install the harness?

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks Shawn, I don’t, but it does look plug and play by looking at the sockets that’s on the harness, I believe one socket goes on the control box that’s on the car. Then a ground and then simply route both wires to each side of the fogs and connect them

[@StarTurtleZero]

Great step-by-step how to video! Now that you have had them on your vehicle for a while any insights? I just picked up a pair but I don’t think I’m going to activate the sequential signal lights as I don’t believe they are legal. As far as I know there is no vehicle that comes with sequential front indicator lights from the factory.

[@kevl1104]

Looks like those are missing the side marker reflectors. The OEM one has an integrated reflector inside the fog light.

[@alintiniuc]

Is there anyway to tap these fog lights directly into the DRLs so they are always on with the DRLs without needing to have the headlights or parking lights on in the controls setting.

[@TeslaDIY]

unfortunately, i have no idea about that, my self along with all other folks who had installed this, is doing it this way thru the side camera turn signal power source

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Did you see the kit from China that replaces all four parts of the taillights? It gives more light and turn signal animations. This is not the replacement for the bottom reflectors.

[@TeslaDIY]

I did, but i am not sure if thats too much, i like my tail lights to be simple, only wish they have amber turn signals

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

@@TeslaDIY Don’t the latest models have amber turn signals? I wish that they would unlock the software to give us a rear red fog light, too! Amber rear turn signals and flashers are much easier to see.

[@kevmac]

I installed these. This video was a HUGE help. Is there an easy way to disable the OEM headlight turn signals?

[@TeslaDIY]

Glad i was able to help! I am also interested in disabling the OEM turn signals in the headlight, but i have not looked much into it. I will make a video if/when I figured it out, or just make a quick post about it. In the meantime, you can let me know if you are able to figure it out =D

[@thespiceislife2082]

Don’t think these are legal in the US. The OEM has the yellow side marker lights integrated into the fog light housing.

Have you figured out how to get rear fog lights? The European versions have them per EU regulations. I wish I could get it from my MY.

[@albertgaleng]

So you have no fog light anymore ? You turned it into left and right signal light?

[@TeslaDIY]

They stay on when turn signals are not triggered, so they do work as driving/fog, do they help when driving in the fog? Maybe not? But I don’t drive in the fog nor do I recall the last time I did. And I don’t need fog lights to help me drive in the fog

[@mathieulapointe3222]

hey hi! i have a question if i dont have originaly the fog light do i have to make the complete harnest by my self ?

[@TeslaDIY]

Some kits provides the hardness, however your software doesn’t have the fog light options, so I would imagine to turn on the lights as fog lights, you would have to tap it into your headlight or wherever, for turn signal it should work

[@Boobooli]

Hello i came across your channel recently and became a subscriber, thank you for your hard work to share the content, for this Fog light Mod is there any extra steps for wiring needed since my 2019 M3 SR plus DOES NOT have the Fog lights install and the hardware is not in the car according to Tesla , i heard that the same year earlier built M3 have a different packate that included the Foglights, and i would really like to add this upgrad kit to my M3 SR+ thank you

[@TeslaDIY]

Thanks buddy, for SR without factory fog lights, I have no experience with it but from my understanding, you will have to use the additional harness which comes with the PimpMyEv kit, and you’ll have to tap that into your driving light or headlights, since there’s no physical “fog light” button in the menu to turn it on

[@jdcook72]

How does it look with fog light setting on vs. off? On my OEM lights, the DRL are off when lights are off and always on with the lights set to park/on/auto. The OEM fog lights (very outside corner) are only on when the DRL are on _and_ the front fog light setting is on. Do your lights look different when front fog light setting is on/off? I see on your Instagram there are some pictures of your care with the OEM lights that show DRL without the fogs on so you know what I mean. Does the beam pattern of your lights provide wider coverage like fog lights would or is this basically remove fog function and replace with DRL/sequential signals only? Thanks!
