Posts tagged with Tesla OEM puddle lights

Ordered these Tesla Logo puddle lights form Tesla China, and used a mail forwarding Company to ship it to Canada It’s very bright and high quality 😍 super easy installation took me like 5 mins Hope they would start selling these in Canada soon

I am taking delivery of the new M3P next week and was buying some accessories on abstract ocean like their blacked out emblems.

I was interested in purchasing their puddle lights for either the two front doors or all 4.

However, I was googling them, and I was coming across horror stories in prior posts saying that can mess up the electronics of the door, or cause the window not to work correctly or even break the window.

Does anyone know anything more about this? Are the ones from abstract ocean safe to use?

Hello Everyone!

Many months ago I came across the news that Tesla released a new puddle lights for Model 3 Well, it was and still is China China-exclusive thing😭 but that encouraged me to find ways to buy it. My options were limited: either asking my colleagues who have relatives in China to buy it off of Tesla China site OR various auction sites like eBay etc. I didn’t want to risk getting the fake one so I found another way after reading the Drive Tesla article.

Tmall (formerly Taobao Mall) is essentially the B2C e-commerce platform and Tesla had an official store. As far as I understand it’s mostly for the Chinese market but Taobao has international shipping option to some countries including Canada and USA.

Tmall ordering was not complicated at all, even though all the interface is in Chinese. Nothing Google Chrome Translation feature could not handle. I registered a Taobao account with my Canadian cell number, used this Taobao account to register&link Alipay (Taobao would not allow me to pay until I did this) and placed the order by paying with my Canadian credit card.

There is an overseas payment option available so I was billed in CAD. The Yuan to CAD rate was pretty nice to my surprise. I got one front pair for 35.87 CAD + 26.11 CAD for the shipment fee. Please keep in mind that it’s an overall shipment fee: I purchased two other items from different Tmall stores and consolidated them in one package. The Weight for three items (pair of puddle lights + two other items) was around:~1.5kg

For reference, here are the timelines for my delivery to Vancouver, BC: placed my order on 4/21, got it delivered on 4/29.

Installation was a breeze and now I enjoy my new lights! They feel more bright which is probably due to the focused light image.

Here are some photos I took during this process: https://imgur.com/a/Hom3cV1
