Tools You'll Need
Before you dive under the hood, gather these essential tools:
- Phillips and flathead screwdrivers
- Socket wrench set
- Voltmeter
- Insulating tape
- Wire cutters
- Battery terminal puller
Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Safety First: Disconnect Your Battery
- Locate the battery in your Tesla Model S and use the battery terminal puller to disconnect the negative terminal. This will prevent any electrical mishaps during the installation.
2. Access the Headlight Assembly
- Open your hood and remove the plastic cover that hides the headlight assembly. Use your Phillips screwdriver here.
- Carefully unscrew and remove the headlight assembly using a socket wrench. You want clear access to the existing ballast and wiring.
3. Remove the Old Ballast
- Locate the existing ballast and disconnect any wires using your wire cutters if necessary.
- Unbolt and remove the old ballast using the socket wrench. Keep the screws nearby—you’ll use them for the new ballast.
4. Install the 55W AC HID Xenon Replacement Slim Ballast
- Place the new ballast in the same location. It should fit seamlessly into the existing assembly.
- Secure the new ballast with the screws you set aside earlier.
- Connect the wiring, ensuring they correspond to the markings on the ballast.
5. Double-check the Wiring Connections
- Use your voltmeter to confirm all connections are secure. Bad connections can lead to flickering or outages.
6. Insulate and Protect
- Once confirmed, use insulating tape to wrap any exposed wires or connections.
7. Test the New Lighting
- Reconnect the negative terminal on your battery.
- Turn on your headlights to test the output of the new HID system. You're looking for steady, bright illumination with no flickering.
8. Reassemble the Headlight Assembly
- Once satisfied, reattach the headlight assembly and the plastic cover. Check the alignment and ensure everything is snug.
