Some more pictures and info for those who are asking about my light strip mod

Many of you asked. How is the glare?!!! I have added some more night pictures to show what glare I see from my pov on the windshield and driver and passenger side glass. These pictures have less night mode. I think night mode on iPhone makes it look more cyberpunk and neony than reality. I have also included some daytime pictures to show what it's like in the day. For those of you asking it's a sexy strip by enhance auto. You can check it out online. It's like around $100. It plugs directly into the obd port on the right A pillar. You can buy cheaper light strips on aliexpress but I like their app and the ability to sync it to the ambient light color selected on your Tesla's screen. You can configure it to sync with the car's ambient light color. So when I change the color on the Tesla ui the light strip follows. However if you want two colors you would need to set an ambient color on the Tesla screen and then set the color on the light strip app. There are many features but most of them I find gimmicky. However the one that I actually use is the blind spot feature. For example, there is a car in my left blind spot and I indicate left the light strip will pulse red on the left half of the light bar to warn you. I thought that's was pretty cool and useful. It's a $100 dollar non invasive mod that is really easy to install. I can always unplug it later so I think it's chill.

I’m not sure why people are so critical of any modifications to teslas especially on this sub. This looks great

Nice! Thanks for the info. Out of curiosity: Does the app allow you to dim it down quite a bit? My worry is that it'd be too bright and that the app wouldn't allow it to be dimmed down far enough (id be going for a subtle look). Enjoy!

I’m late to the party here — does Juniper not come with the highland lightstrip, or are you referring to the blue one in front? Either way, it all looks great 👍👍

Flashy-Jaguar-2880 2026-03-11 10:47

The big long one furthest away from me is the original juniper one. The bluish green glow closest to me is the one I installed.

iirc the Model 3 and Model Y in China got a dash LED strip from the factory pre-refresh. Maybe it’s a hot take but I like the dash strip more than the big arch LED strip that comes in the refreshed models anyway. I’d buy the part from Tesla install it myself if they made it available in the NA market

The problem is that people in this sub are not car people but just Tesla owners. just share a stock picture of a Tesla any changes to the car and you only get hate because according to them now it looks like a Honda or something like that

I've got the same one (enhance strip) but for the Pre-Facelift Model Y. It really gives the car a more modern touch but I didn't expect to also get some QoL with a light bar. * Blind Spot warner (Strip turns red left or right) * Adjustable Speed limit warner (flashing red) * Autopilot warner (flashing blue) And flashy but useless things like indicating or charging animations.

Buick Enclave owner here hunting for a MS. The Buick has this in a light green/blueish hue and looks classy. Also is along the rear doors. My personal preference is a color more subdued and dim, but that's just me. Glad you posted along with some good pix. I'll keep this in mind, hopefully will be an owner within a few months

I have a question, is it sound reactive like the stock one on the newer Tesla models?

Flashy-Jaguar-2880 2026-03-11 12:47

Nope. It only syncs to the stock light color. When I press sync with music. Only the original ambient light pulses with the music. The light strip is just static.

AllCaps78 2026-03-11 13:32

Where did you get the kit from?

Turtleguycool 2026-03-11 13:53

The new model y one is sound reactive?

CheleCuche 2026-03-11 13:54

Yup, is a feature in the toybox

I added mine, but I added mine not at the top ledge, but inside the crevice, so it looks and does that same effect as the indirect tailight, so I got as oft glow instead of the harsh led strip https://preview.redd.it/pmpmq2z8sfog1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a0f8c0a7d7cce7c18e4129a168cb9a996c3d7d21 So the glows from inside, way softer.

Flashy-Jaguar-2880 2026-03-11 15:44

Wait. That is so good what the hell. I should have done that.

kopacetik 2026-03-11 15:55

You still can, take it off, run in inside the crevice, don't run the AC for a bit for it to stick, and ready, its also cleaner looking cause one of the issues with that strip is that it will start to unstick.

Flashy-Jaguar-2880 2026-03-11 15:59

How does it look during the day? Do you have any pictures? Thanks.

I’m curious if it’s possible to use the light to show the power bar? I love to feather the throttle to hyper mile coast. This would be a really cool application.

Flashy-Jaguar-2880 2026-03-13 10:44

That's not a feature right now. But I think if enough people request it they might update it. I think it is possible as it's plugged into the obd port so the strip probably had access to how much the accelerator pedal is depressed.
