Door Puddle Lights and Interior Lights by Abstract Ocean

[L3it3R]

Actually, they are dimmable, I honestly can't remember if the CT acts the same as every Tesla (full brightness when parked, dimmed when driving), but I assume it does. Ours is still stuck in service, so can't check.

ah yeah, it's a bit dimmer, that's fair, but there's not a slider like some of the other lights.

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 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.

Hi Pete. I am really rooting for you to figure out the logo puddle light situation. This is the missing piece to completing my truck. Best of luck and thanks for the updates.

Seriously...?
Tiawan?

Just finished installing all 10 of these lights. Overall the install is not difficult if you've worked on cars before and aren't shy about removing trim.

Overall 5 stars! Thx @AO-Pete!! Here are my installation notes to help make your install smoother:

1. Watch @AO-Pete 's video on how to install, it helps.
2. Do the rear light under the driver's seat before the one under passenger seat! It doesn't get hung up as much or at all on the center console and gives you a better feel for what it should do when you open up the trim box thing to get at it. The one under the passenger seat can get hung up and is a bit annoying.
3. Under door lights clicked, they're in! NOT! Double check, triple check. They kept fooling me. Simple, but they're deceptive.
4. The light in the driver's foot well is in a very fragile frame. I didn't break it, but I had the right tool to compress and remove these lights. If you're using a flat blade spudger thing, you risk breaking the mount point, I highly recommend just cutting the clips off the old light with some wire cutters just to be safe.

Fun effect, fun install.

Oh! If anyone wants 10 intact stock CT ambient lights, let me know!

Cheers

3 Month follow-up:

Still working perfectly and I still LOVE the way these look at night. Get compliments every I'm out and someone sees me open the door and the interior lights up purple!

The ONLY 'issue' I've had is every once in a while I get a slight blinking (more of a pulsing, doesn't turn off) of the driver's front under dash light right when I first get in. It stops after about 10 seconds, and never happens while driving. Other than that, 10/10 with an extra point for their amazing customer service!

11/10 would recommend.
