Tesla Model 3 and Model Y owners looking to enhance their vehicle's appearance and lighting performance now have an exciting option: the Alpharex NOVA-Series LED Projector Headlights. These aftermarket headlights offer a blend of style and functionality that sets them apart from stock options.
Design and Features
The NOVA-Series headlights feature a sleek design that pays homage to the original Tesla look while adding a modern twist[1]. Key features include:
- Signature 3D ice-cube NOVA projectors
- LED tube lighting for daytime running lights (DRL) and turn signals
- Activation light feature that illuminates when unlocking the vehicle
- Quad projector design with all four serving as low beams and the inner two as high beams
Performance Enhancements
These headlights aren't just about looks; they also promise improved lighting performance:
- Increased lumens and a more intense hotspot for better nighttime visibility[4]
- Sharp beam pattern cut-off line, reminiscent of high-end HID systems[6]
- 6000K light output for a crisp, white illumination[9]
Compatibility and Installation
The NOVA-Series headlights are designed for:
- Tesla Model 3 (2017-2023)
- Tesla Model Y (2020-2024)[7]
Installation is generally straightforward, with a plug-and-play harness included[2]. However, it's worth noting that installing these headlights on vehicles with matrix headlight features will deactivate that functionality[1].
Considerations
While the NOVA-Series headlights offer numerous benefits, potential buyers should be aware of a few points:
- They may require a decoder for compatibility with certain software versions on early Model 3s[7]
- The upgrade comes at a premium, with prices around $1,650 to $1,745[1][9]
- Some users report that while good, they may not outperform high-end OEM options like the Model Y Performance matrix LED projectors[10]
Conclusion
For Tesla owners seeking to personalize their Model 3 or Y while potentially improving nighttime visibility, the Alpharex NOVA-Series LED Projector Headlights present an attractive option. With their blend of style and function, these headlights could be a worthwhile upgrade for those looking to stand out on the road and enhance their driving experience.
