Before you order a replacement Model Y headlight
A replacement unit is the obvious option. Three things are worth checking first:
- Warranty or recall: if either covers the headlight, use it first.
- Version: the Model Y has been sold since the 2020 model year, and its front lights changed with the 2025 update, so a replacement has to match.
- The fault: an electronics or seal problem in your unit can often be repaired.
Adaptive headlight alert on a Model Y
With this alert, the car stops adjusting the beam by itself. Reboot the car and check for software updates before anything else.
If the message returns and a scan points to one headlight, the cause is usually in its control electronics or LED drivers, sometimes after moisture got inside. You can read more in Adaptive Headlight Repair (AFS).
The full checklist is in Tesla “Adaptive Headlight Features Are Unavailable”: Diagnosis and Repair.
Flickering, fogging and cracked lenses
- A light that flickers or a section that stays dark.
- Moisture inside the lens that does not clear.
- A cracked lens or broken mounting point after a minor hit.
Each of these is repaired on your original housing, and the unit is sealed again before it ships back.
What you keep with a repair
The difference is what you end up with: the headlight your Model Y was built with, or a replacement that has to match it.
A repaired original keeps its fit and still matches the other side, with no part to order and wait for.
