# 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y Headlight and Bulb Sizes

Headlight bulb types vary by trim on the 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y. Full bulb chart for every position, plus whether LED replacements fit the factory housings.

## 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y bulb chart

| Position | Bulb type |
| --- | --- |
| Low beam | LED (sealed assembly, no user-replaceable bulb) |
| High beam | LED (sealed assembly; Matrix-capable headlights on late 2023+ builds) |
| Fog light | LED (where equipped) |
| note | All exterior lighting is LED; failures are repaired at the module/assembly level |

Note: Bulb fitments can vary with option packages (halogen vs. LED lighting). Confirm the bulb you are removing matches before ordering.

## 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.

## 2020-2024 Tesla Model Y headlight bulbs: common questions

### 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.
