Puddle Lights That Work?

[rudedawg78]

I am thinking about this https://www.sw-lights.com/product-page/nemesis-v2-underglow-for-cybertruck with a new DRL https://www.sw-lights.com/product-page/nemesis-v1-headlights-for-cybertruck-custom-rgbw-bluetooth

Those are awesome, but $3K for new lights. Man....

If someone with a later VIN (after 2500, but would love to test in a very recent VIN) wants to (re)try the projection lights, please PM me (limit 5 owners). Some backstory for context:

• I had the Cybertruck 'graffiti' light manufactured before we got our truck in February. This was on the basis that the puddle lights in CT are the same p/n as Highland, so since they worked in Highland, they'd work in a CT, right? (wrong). The photos were taken with Highland, and they look fantastic. We're rarely first to the party, but this time I thought I'd nailed it. Didn't.
• For our CT (VIN 1000), nothing works reliably in the doors, including our regular ultrabright lights, Tesla's own projection lights, and many other prototypes I've tried. Sometimes they'll work when plugged in, only to kick me in the balls the next morning. No amount of reboots will bring them back to life, but the factory lights power up immediately. The regular (non projection) lights seem to work flawlessly in all but the first couple of thousand CT's for reasons unknown, but yes, Tesla changes stuff all. the. time.

I'm no electrical engineer, but there's nothing smart about the lights or the supply, it's just a dumb 16v endpoint with no control wire, so I think that CT is just incredibly fussy with its soft fuses. Easy to fix in s/w, but there's no telling if or when Tesla will do that, nor would they ever tell us.

lol mines a new non fs cybertruck. email me! [email protected]

I know. I’m currently trying to work past that in my head.
