2024–2025 Tesla Model 3 headlight bulbs: common questions
What headlight bulb does a 2024–2025 Tesla Model 3 use?
- LED (sealed module, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED (sealed module) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.
What fog light bulb does a 2024–2025 Tesla Model 3 take?
- LED (where equipped).
Can you put LED bulbs in a 2024–2025 Tesla Model 3?
- Physically, yes, LED replacements exist in every common base. Whether they work well depends on the housing: a reflector housing designed around a halogen filament scatters LED output into oncoming traffic instead of down the road. Projector housings tolerate the swap far better. Some vehicles also flag the lower current draw as a bulb-out fault.
