Tesla Model 3 and Model Y door light
I have recently purchased a Tesla model Y, and started looking for various accessories. One big downside of model 3 and y are the fact that they don't come with dashboard display, and I started searching for heads up displays.
However, I've ended up finding bunch of other accessories. A large sun shade for top ceiling sounds good, but I could bear it on sunny days just like at any other car. I wanted to order perfect fit floor mats, but I can be careful and wait.
One that caught my eyes was door light that beams Tesla logo to the ground. I have tried purchasing one for my BMW X5, but failed because I don't know how they were expecting me to mount to the door. I've tried on my 2016 X5, and my friend tried on an older 2012 X5, but it couldn't be installed in either.
However, this Tesla one seemed to be fitted right at the bottom of the door by replacing an existing bulb, and the result was very satisfactory.
Actually, I didn't notice the difference until that night, but it was quite bright and distinct, and it made back door light look very dim.
** Installation
You just need a small to medium size flat head screw driver.
- pull out through small gap toward the front side
- once the chasing unit is out, use the screw driver again to push the middle cable holder and pull out the cable with the other hand. (the car will briefly turn itself off)
- plug the cable into the new unit the same way and then mount the casing back to the door.
- repeat the same step on other doors.

I've purchased this item at Amazon for about $20 for two, and I'm planning to get two more for the rear doors.
