High-Mileage Tesla Model 3 Headlight Fix: Model Y Swap at Aim Wrap
Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a long-time follower, you know I've been putting my 2019 Tesla Model 3 through its paces. With 158,000 miles on the odometer, this thing has been an absolute beast—bulletproof reliability, no major issues, and still going strong for those everyday errands when my other rides are tied up.
But even the most reliable EVs have their minor hiccups. Recently, the passenger-side headlight (left side) decided to call it quits. It threw a warning message that vanished after a bit, but the light stayed out. No big deal during the day, but at night? Not ideal for safe driving.
The Quick Fix at Aim Wrap
Enter my buddy Austin at Aim Wrap in California—a shop that's not only partnered with Nola Customs but also wrapped my previous Model Y in that killer red finish you might remember from past videos. We headed there to swap out the faulty OEM headlight with one from a Model Y. Spoiler: It was a straightforward upgrade that got everything back to perfect working order.
Bonus: Custom Tesla Superchargers for Your Garage
While we were there, I spotted something epic—Austin's team builds custom Tesla Superchargers for home use! Forget overpriced alternatives:
- Full kits run $3,000–$4,000 for the ultimate setup.
- Half-kits for the side of your house? Just a couple hundred bucks.
Wire it up to a wall charger, add an optional LED-lit Tesla logo, and boom—you've got Supercharger vibes right in your driveway. Check them out on Instagram @aimrap and ask for Austin. Super cool for any Tesla owner looking to level up their charging game.
Testing the New Headlight
Headlight back in? Time for tests:
- Turn signals: Check ✅
- High beams: Bright and brilliant ✅
Everything works flawlessly. Night drives are safe again!
