Front Right Headlight for 2016–2021 Tesla Model S | 1053574-00-E (CFN Brand)

Core Functions

1. High-Visibility Illumination: Equipped with OEM-grade LED low/high beams—low beams provide a 120° wide light pattern (range up to 45m) for urban driving, while high beams extend visibility to 150m for highways. The LED chips (color temperature 5500K) emit cool white light, reducing eye fatigue compared to traditional halogen bulbs and enhancing recognition of road signs/lane markings.
2. Adaptive Lighting Compatibility: Works with the 2016–2021 Model S’s adaptive front-lighting system (AFS)—if the vehicle is equipped with AFS, the headlight automatically adjusts the light angle based on steering input (e.g., tilts right when turning right) to illuminate blind spots, improving safety on curvy roads.
3. Daytime Running Light (DRL) & Signal Integration: Integrates a built-in LED DRL (brightness 1500cd) that meets daytime visibility requirements, plus a amber LED turn signal (flashing frequency 1.5Hz). The DRL automatically activates when the vehicle is on, while the turn signal syncs with the vehicle’s BCM for consistent operation.

Durable Construction & Technical Features

• Housing & Lens: The outer housing uses impact-resistant PC (polycarbonate) material with a UV-resistant coating—resists cracking from stone impacts or UV fading (passes 1000-hour ASTM G154 UV tests). The lens is treated with an anti-fog coating, preventing condensation in humid environments.
• Light Source & Module: LED chips (lifespan ≥50,000 hours) use a copper heat sink and fan cooling system to maintain stable performance (avoids overheating-induced brightness loss). The built-in control module matches Tesla’s CAN bus protocol, ensuring seamless communication with the vehicle’s electrical system (no error codes).
• Weather Sealing: Rated IP6K9K for dust/water resistance—withstands high-pressure car washes and heavy rain without internal water ingress. It also tolerates temperature fluctuations (-40°C to 85°C), suitable for extreme climates.

Installation

1. Vehicle Preparation: Turn off the vehicle, disconnect the 12V battery (to avoid electrical shorting). Open the hood and locate the front right headlight (secured by 3×13mm bolts: 2 on top, 1 on the side).
2. Old Headlight Removal: Disconnect the electrical connector (3-pin, for power and signals) from the back of the old headlight. Use a 13mm socket to remove the 3 bolts, then pull the headlight forward (gently wiggle to release the mounting clips) and set it aside.
3. Pre-Installation Check: Clean the headlight cavity with a dry cloth; inspect the mounting clips for damage (replace if broken). Remove the protective film from the new headlight’s lens.
4. New Headlight Installation: Align 1053574-00-E with the cavity, push it into place (ensure clips engage), then hand-tighten the 3×13mm bolts. Reconnect the electrical connector.
5. Torque Fastening & Testing: Use a torque wrench to tighten bolts to 8±0.5 Nm (per Tesla specs). Reconnect the 12V battery, turn on the vehicle, and test: low/high beams, DRL, turn signal, and AFS (if equipped) to confirm normal operation.
6. Alignment Check: After installation, verify the light beam alignment (use a headlight alignment tool or visit a Tesla service center) to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.

Note: This part is front right-specific—do not interchange with front left headlights (e.g., 1053573-00-E). For 2016–2021 Model S, avoid using pre-2016 or post-2021 headlight assemblies, as they do not match the vehicle’s electrical protocol or mounting points.
