The headlight bulbs on a Tesla Model 3 is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

Tesla Model 3 headlight bulbs: common questions

What headlight bulb does a 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 Tesla Model 3 take?

LED (where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 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.
