2020–2024 Tesla Model Y Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Which Tesla Model Y model years does this cover?

These headlight bulbs specifications apply to every Tesla Model Y built from 2020 through 2024 — the 1st generation (original body), compact electric crossover suv (5- or 7-seat). Nothing in this specification changes between those model years. Pick your year for the engines it offered, what changed that year, and the problems recorded against it.

What headlight bulb does a 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y use?

LED (sealed assembly, no user-replaceable bulb) for the low beam and LED (sealed assembly; Matrix-capable headlights on late 2023+ builds) 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 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y take?

LED (where equipped).

Can you put LED bulbs in a 2020–2024 Tesla Model Y?

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.
