How to actually retrofit/install matrix headlights on a Tesla Model 3

We go in-depth and tell you how to DIY a Tesla Model 3 matrix headlight retrofit/install.

WARNING: THIS IS A ONE WAY STREET, as of 2024-12-24, there is no easy way to go back to 'PREMIUM' headlights afterwards. If you changed the config to 'GLOBAL' but need to put the old reflector headlights back in, when you change the config back to 'PREMIUM', the reflector headlights will turn on and work but the headlight adjustments may not work again, ie. you can't change the reflector headlight level in the software.

Headlight part numbers used in the video:
Left Headlight: 1514952-00-D
Right Headlight: 1514953-00-D

There are -00 and -10 variants, there appears to be no functional difference, in Australia (and probably Europe) they officially use the -10 variants (ie. 1514952-10-*). The trailing letter (ie. -D) is the revision, again there is no functional difference between the revisions but, it's probably best to get the same revision for both as the colour temperature of the light might be slightly different.
