The adaptive headlight alert on the screen

This alert means the car has turned off the headlight functions that adjust the beam on their own. The lights may still work, but only in a basic mode.

It can come from a software glitch, the cameras or the headlight itself. If a reboot or a software update does not clear it and a scan points to the headlight, the fault is usually in its control electronics or LED drivers.

What to try first is in Tesla “Adaptive Headlight Features Are Unavailable”: Diagnosis and Repair.

Tesla headlight flickering, dark sections and moisture

  • Flickering or a strip that goes dark: a failing LED driver or LED board.
  • Fog or droplets inside the lens: a seal that let humid air in, which can later reach the electronics.
  • A cracked lens after a stone or a minor hit.

The electronics side is covered in LED Headlight Repair and Adaptive Headlight Repair (AFS).

Check your warranty and any recall first

If your car is still under the manufacturer's warranty, or a recall covers the headlight, use that first: it costs you nothing. This service is for headlights that neither one covers.

Why repair your Tesla headlight

The reason to repair is keeping the original unit, with its fit and its full set of functions.

The repaired headlight still matches the one on the other side, and there is no replacement to order and wait for.

Tesla owners ask

Do I need to bring the car anywhere?

No. You or a mechanic remove the headlight and ship only the headlight; the car stays with you.

Can a headlight with a cracked lens and an electronics fault be repaired in one job?

Send photos of both problems. Your quote covers everything the headlight needs and confirms what can be repaired.
