This 2013 Tesla Model S bulb size page helps you verify the correct bulbs by lighting position before you buy replacements. Because Tesla used different lighting setups depending on trim, market, and body style, checking the exact lamp location is the safest way to match the right part.
Use this page as a quick reference for the 2013 Tesla Model S exterior lighting layout, including headlights, fog lights, turn signals, brake lights, reverse lights, side markers, tail lights, and license plate lights. It is designed to make bulb lookup easier when you need to replace one lamp or confirm what is installed on your car.
Fitment can vary on the 2013 Model S, especially between halogen and HID headlight setups and across different lighting packages or regional specifications. If your car has halogen headlights, the listed headlight bulb is 9005, while HID-equipped cars use D3S; do not assume one will fit the other. Many exterior lamps on this model are LED-based, and some may be integrated assemblies rather than simple replaceable bulbs, so it is smart to inspect the installed bulb or housing before ordering. If you are considering aftermarket conversions or replacements, verify connector style, housing depth, and whether the lamp is serviceable on your specific vehicle.
