Has the Tesla Model Y headlight bulbs specification changed by year?
| Model years | Low beam | High beam | Fog |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025–2025 | LED (sealed assembly with full-width light bar DRL, no user-replaceable bulbs) | LED (sealed assembly) | N/A |
| 2020–2024 | LED (sealed assembly, no user-replaceable bulb) | LED (sealed assembly; Matrix-capable headlights on late 2023+ builds) | LED (where equipped) |
Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.
Full specifications by generation
The headlight bulbs on a Tesla Model Y 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 Y headlight bulbs: common questions
What headlight bulb does a Tesla Model Y use?
- LED (sealed assembly with full-width light bar DRL, no user-replaceable bulbs) for the low beam and LED (sealed assembly) for the high beam. Trims with factory LED or HID projectors use a sealed assembly instead and are not bulb-serviceable.
Can you put LED bulbs in a 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.
