This page covers the 2020 Tesla Model S and helps you verify bulb sizes by lighting position, so you can match the correct replacement to the right lamp location. Because Tesla used different lighting setups depending on trim, market, and body style, it is important to check the specific position on the vehicle before ordering any bulb or LED module.

For this model year, many exterior and interior lights are listed as LED, including the fog lights, brake lights, turn signals, license plate lights, parking lights, tail lights, daytime running lights, side markers, reverse lights, and cabin lights. The headlight entry may vary as well, with the available raw list showing 9005 and D3S for high beam and low beam applications in some configurations.

Fitment can vary by trim package, lighting package, and region, so do not assume every 2020 Model S uses the same bulb or module. Some positions are factory LED assemblies rather than replaceable halogen bulbs, while others may differ if the car has been modified with aftermarket conversions. If you are unsure, compare the installed bulb, connector, and housing before buying, and confirm whether the part is a complete LED unit or a serviceable bulb replacement.

FAQ

Does the 2020 Tesla Model S use LED lighting in most positions?

Yes. The bulb chart for this year shows LED for many exterior and interior locations, including brake lights, tail lights, turn signals, license plate lights, dome lights, map lights, and more.

Why does the page list bulb sizes by lighting position?

Because the correct fit depends on where the light is used. A front turn signal, rear turn signal, brake light, or license plate light can have different requirements, so checking by position helps avoid ordering the wrong part.

Are the headlight bulbs the same on every 2020 Model S?

Not necessarily. The available raw list shows 9005 and D3S for high beam and low beam applications, but the exact setup can vary by configuration and market.

Can I replace the fog light bulbs on a 2020 Model S with a standard halogen bulb?

Usually no if the car is equipped with factory LED fog lights. If the vehicle has an LED fog light assembly, the replacement may be the complete unit rather than a simple bulb.

Do the brake lights and tail lights use separate bulbs?

The chart lists both brake light and tail light positions as LED. On many modern vehicles, these functions may be separate circuits or integrated into the same LED assembly, depending on the design.

What should I check before ordering a license plate light replacement?

Check whether your car uses a replaceable LED bulb or a sealed LED module, and compare the connector and housing shape. Tesla lighting can differ by build and market, so a visual match is important.

Are the front and rear turn signal bulbs the same?

Not always. This page lists both front and rear turn signal positions as LED, but the physical part and connector can differ between the front and rear locations.

Does the 2020 Tesla Model S have replaceable interior bulbs?

The chart lists glove box, trunk or cargo area, dome, map, interior door, and door mirror illumination lights as LED. Depending on the exact assembly, these may be replaceable bulbs or integrated LED units.

What does 'back up reverse light bulb' mean on this page?

It refers to the reverse lighting position at the rear of the vehicle. The chart shows LED for both back up reverse light and back up light entries, which may reflect different naming used for the same rear reverse lamp function.

Can aftermarket LED conversions change fitment on this car?

Yes. Aftermarket conversions can change bulb type, connector compatibility, beam pattern, and error behavior. If the car has been modified, verify the installed parts instead of relying only on factory listings.

Why might my 2020 Model S differ from the bulb chart?

Trim level, lighting package, body style, and market can all affect the exact setup. That is why it is best to confirm the bulb currently installed in the vehicle before purchasing replacements.

What is the safest way to confirm the correct bulb size?

Open the lamp housing if accessible, inspect the installed bulb or module, and compare the part number, connector, and base style with the chart. If the light is a sealed LED assembly, you may need the complete unit instead of a bulb.
