The Tesla Model S is a long-running electric sedan with a wide range of lighting setups across model years, trims, and option packages. If you are trying to replace a headlight, fog light, turn signal, brake light, reverse light, or interior bulb, this model page helps you narrow down the right year before you look up the exact fitment.
Because bulb sizes can change from one Model S generation or refresh to another, the safest approach is to use the year-specific page for your car. This model page covers the 2012 through 2022 Model S lineup and points you toward the correct year page so you can confirm the exact bulb type, socket, and lighting configuration before ordering.
For the most accurate results, match your Model S by model year first, then check whether your car has standard lighting, LED equipment, or a specific trim or package that may affect fitment. The year pages on bulbsize.org are designed to give exact bulb size guidance, while this page is meant to help you choose the right starting point and avoid buying the wrong part.
FAQ
Why does the Tesla Model S need year-specific bulb information?
The Model S has changed over time, and lighting hardware can differ between early cars and later refreshes. Even when two vehicles are both called Model S, the bulb type or assembly may not be the same. That is why exact fitment should always be checked on the year page for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, or 2022.
Can I use one bulb size guide for every Tesla Model S?
No. A single guide is not reliable for every Model S because bulb fitment can vary by year, lighting package, and trim. Use this model page to identify the correct year, then open the matching year page for exact bulb sizes.
What years are covered on this Tesla Model S model page?
This page covers Model S vehicles from 2012 through 2022. Those years include early production cars as well as later updates, so checking the exact year is the best way to find the correct bulb chart.
How do I find the right bulb if I only know I have a Tesla Model S?
Start by confirming the model year on your registration, VIN, or door label. Then go to the corresponding year page on bulbsize.org. That page will list the exact bulb sizes for your lighting positions and help you avoid guessing.
Do trim levels or packages affect bulb fitment on the Model S?
Yes, they can. Some trims or option packages may use different headlight or taillight assemblies, and those differences can change the bulb type or whether a serviceable bulb is used at all. Always check the year page and note any trim or package details shown there.
What if my Model S uses LED lighting?
Many Model S lighting systems use LED technology, especially in later years and certain assemblies. In those cases, some lights may not have a replaceable bulb in the traditional sense. The year page will help you see which positions use bulbs and which are part of a sealed assembly.
Can I rely on the bulb size from a similar Tesla model?
Not safely. Even if another Tesla looks similar, the bulb fitment may differ. The Model S should be checked against Model S-specific year data rather than information from a Model 3, Model X, Model Y, or another vehicle.
What lighting positions are usually covered on a Model S bulb chart?
Year pages typically cover exterior and interior lighting positions such as headlights, parking lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, license plate lights, and cabin bulbs. The exact list depends on the year and equipment on your Model S.
Why do some Model S pages show different results for the same year?
Different production dates, refreshes, or equipment changes can create variation within the same model year. If your car was built near a redesign or has a special lighting package, double-check the year page notes and compare them with your vehicle.
What is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong bulb for my Model S?
Use three checks: confirm the model year, match the lighting position, and review any trim or package notes. Then use the exact bulb chart on the year page before buying. This is the most reliable way to get the correct fitment.
Does this page give exact bulb part numbers for the Tesla Model S?
No. This model page is meant to guide you to the correct year page, where exact bulb sizes and fitment details are listed. That keeps the information organized and helps you match your specific Model S more accurately.
