These are great lights. I installed them on our 2018 Tesla S in less than an hour, and it is like having an entirely different car - bright, cheerful and inviting when getting in and out, as well as a trunk and frunk that I can finally see clearly inside in the dark.
Here is what you need to upgrade your Tesla S:
Puddle lights for front and back doors - 4;
Trunk lights - 3;
Driver and passenger footwells - 2;
Frunk - 1;
Glove box - 1;
That is a total of three sets of four lights each with one spare left.
Installation was simple and straightforward except for footwells and puddle lights. To replace footwell lights, getting inside and under them in inverse position requires a great deal of flexibility, and so is getting out.
To replace puddle lights, you need to lay down on your back under each open door (shop mechanics use a lift for that). My head and back were protected from the cold driveway by a padded exercise mat.
Finally, a removal tool that comes with these lights is arduous to use. Instead, use a regular flathead screwdriver to pry original lights out near instantaneously.
The brightness and intensity of these lights are remarkable, and there was no flicker at all like another review alluded.
The only thing that left a bad taste in my mouth was Tesla's decision to install grossly inferior lights in the first place.
