Just got done installing these by @AO-Pete (Abstract Ocean). Love the look!

I have to say that some of the locations are a bit of a bear, but it wasn’t hard overall.

That looks good! Totally fits the whole vibe of the Cybertruck.

Are colors selectable? Any other photos you can share?

White, blue, red, and purple 👍🏻

I’ll get some later when it’s dark 😎

Edit: I should have said "they're available in". The color of these is not able to be changed once installed.

Interested in the interior lights. Have a link and any comments on installation?

Nice. Just curious - does CT come with puddle lights? Also - is it as easy to replace as Model Y? (square box that pops in under door with simple wire?)

is that 10 bucks for all the bulbs? Or 10 each, and you have to get X amount?

Does anyone know the type of bulbs currently on the Cybertruck doors puddle lights? I feel like we should be able to find brighter LED replacements easily and more cost effectively by ourselves.

These are direct replacement units. You may be able to source cheaper/brighter LEDs, but they will probably require a lot more work. Been replacing the lights in almost all of my vehicles since... as long as I can remember, and this is pretty much on par.

Hi all. Pete from AO here...to answer a few of the questions....

  1. Cybertruck is incredibly fussy about what's plugged into it. For this reason, the internal bulbs are (for now) static colors. We might try an RGB version in the future, but not any time soon (RGB bulbs are always less bright, that's the downside of selectable color).
  2. The puddle (door) locations continue to be extremely problematic. In our VIN (1000), nothing will work for long, other than the factory lights (which are the same p/n as Highland). For most customers, the ultra-bright lights will work in the door locations. These are dumb, 16v endpoints (no control wire), so I'm not sure why they're so fussy.
  3. Projection lights in the doors, so far, have been a complete failure. This includes Tesla's own "TESLA" projection light they sell in China. The Cybertruck projection shown up thread was taken in a Highland, on the basis they use the same factory bulbs, but turns out that assumption wasn't a good one. Version 14 is due in the mail tomorrow to try {sigh}
  4. Yes, you can find cheaper lights, but having sold these things for a decade, I am extremely confident our ultra-brights are the best quality available. They're made in Taiwan (in the world of LED's, Taiwan is very different to China) by a manufacturer that supplies millions of bulbs to a major German OEM. We offer a lifetime warranty, and I'm not worried doing that, the 2014 Model S loaner that I have from Tesla right now arrived with them installed - this is often the case, having sold close on half a million of them.

  4. Yes, you can find cheaper lights, but having sold these things for a decade, I am extremely confident our ultra-brights are the best quality available. They're made in Tiawan (in the world of LED's, Tiawan is very different to China) by a manufacturer that supplies millions of bulbs to a major German OEM. We offer a lifetime warranty, and I'm not worried doing that, the 2014 Model S loaner that I have from Tesla right now arrived with them installed - this is often the case, having sold close on half a million of them.
ALSO! Your customer service is fantastic 😎👍🏻
