Just to let those out there know this technique still works on 2024 model y performance. I'm sure there are easier ways out there but if you're able to complete one side with this technique, the other side becomes a breeze. Thanks for the video John.

Great video, John and thank you for posting. You were correct, it was a pretty involved install… especially if you have mud guards. We ran into some issues when fishing the the wire around… really helps to have a second set of eyes watching the fish tape come through. I also ran into an issue with drilling the hole… I ended up having to make the hole larger than the 3/8th bit I first used to pull the wire though. Other than that, the install was straight forward and your video made all the difference… thank you!

Thanks for the video. I needed to replace a cracked reflector and the Tesla service manual shows the removing the rear bumper...but your technique by slowly working the cracked reflector out is spot on. Cleaned up the area and slide and push...snapped right in. Five minutes tops. Sure beats having to remove the lower fascia...rear bumper...rear lights...side panels....rear trunk seal...guess that's how body shops charge a fortune just to replace the reflector...lol.

John, that's nice. Now you're ready for the vertical doors!

Great video, going to be attempting this on a 7 seater Model Y. It was a giant pain on my model 3 with a coat hanger.

Hazards are above your head by the overhead lights. Looks good!

I don’t like how it flashes for brake light. is there way to make it a solid brake light? thanks

You don't need to fish the wires down to the rear wheel arch. Remove the air vents at the bottom of the back pockets and use that area to fish the wires through and replace the air vents when done.

You forgot to wrap the right one with electrical tape 😬😬lol
Nice video nonetheless even tho I don't own a Tesla, it was very informative 👍

[gilguevarra]

No room to route wire straight down instead of going around in circle?

Excellent work and thank you for the coupon code

Nice video. You worked very fast. I was wondering if the fender is hollow? More specifically, is the area between the reflector and the hitch opening is hollow?

Hi, can you share link buy rear light, thank you.

[SmoothBassVO]

So, mudflaps would have to be removed to install these, right?

[dagezlanehocine]

Salut John, les clignotants sont jaune ou rouge ?

[stkyrce]

You forgot to electrical tape the right side as you did with the left side. Great install though.

[donnywong]

Do you know someone install the reflector

[garybondoc]

Thanks for the video but Damn.. you sir, did it the hardest way. Easier with 2 bomely video tutorials I've seen, I think I'll go with that but I commend you for your patience.
