This video shows how I removed panels in my 2020 Tesla model 3 and hid wires. I used the Nestour brand neon lights, but these techniques can be applied to other brands as well.
The company has their own install instructions video which I will list below. I suggest you watch their tutorial first and then mine afterwards to compare your options on installation. Below is also a non-affiliate link to the products on Amazon. Please reach out to me with questions and I will be happy to help. Enjoy!

Great job Sara! You’re so brave popping off panels everywhere!! Haha I haven’t even had 1 panel off yet on mine. I really should change my own filter at least. Anyhow, great job getting it to look as good as you could! Final product is definitely worth it. Happy 4th to you and your family!

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

Thank you so much!!!!!! Eh, you can do it. Teslas actually have the EASIEST panels to pop off. I love it. I gotta change filters in both our cars now. You need a plastic tool for sure. Happy 4th to y’all too!!

@alex-650 2 года назад

That lighting job is amazing! Excellent instructions where none existed by the vendor. For that wire that is too short, you can cut it and splice in a piece to make it longer. You can buy the wire or cut a piece from some other cable that is way too long. Best to join wires using a soldering iron and head shrink tubing. But solder-less connectors also work, they are just bulkier.

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

Thank you!!!! Yeah, I might do that later I’m the fall when it’s cooler. But I also did not want to do that for an initial review/ install because we shouldn’t have to do that on a new product. But it’s probably what I’ll do. I appreciate ya!!!!!!!

@Durzel Год назад

You'll probably find that a longer cigarette lighter to box wire is something you can source quite easily. It was hard to tell but it looks like a standard connector that plugs into it. Well done for getting stuck in, I've had rear ambient lights sat in a box for about 2 months because I've been too anxious about pulling bits of trim apart, and you just go straight for it :)

Very good Sara, very brave. You always go beyone most Tesla owners. I am working on the Areo wheeks, i remove the plastic covers. And found that the dark broze do not stand out. On the spokes i am adding chrone tape. I kbow the car will stand out with Crome wheels, black stripes on the red paint and large spoilor. Brought it to car shows and people just love it.

Like you said, the visible wire would drive me nuts too, and I don't like the fact you have to manually turn the lights on and off (they should find a way to do that when the car powers on or off).

Also you’re quite gorgeous; such a natural beauty. Tesla should make you an ambassador for their brand.

@dsvillalva 2 года назад

Hi Sara, regarding the passenger footwell looks like you said there are three of those clips…that’s what I’ve always had since the first time I changed the cabin filter. Somehow if I remember it seems there’s holes for at least one additional clip? I always wondered since there’s a good chance my Model 3 was built in the “tent” back when they were going through production hell and they just forgot a clip. But next time you take a peek down there, see if there are extra holes that may indicate a missing clip. Thanks again for all of your videos, not only are they informative but your personality comes across and I can tell you’re simply an angel of a human being.

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

Thank you! Yes, mine has 4 holes but only 3 clips too. And many others have told me the same thing! 😂 I wonder why also. Can’t be to save money, must have been to save time. You can probably just buy some online but I haven’t really found the need for the 4th so I haven’t wasted my time or money. But you ARE correct! We are all missing a clip!

Haha! Thank you! Yeah, I was basically dying doing this install. Not really but I did consider deleting my channel and driving my car off a cliff. 😂 It would have been fine and fun if I had no responsibilities, no time constraints, and Fall weather. The company surprisingly said they would try to lengthen that one chord and change the install instructions;) So it was successful in the end.

@bkackman 2 года назад

Great tutorial. Hhelpful to show another (possibly preferable) way to install. Bless you for always trailblazing and showing the best way to remove panels. Until it's done, very often, we wouldn't know which end to start with. You take the risk on our behalf so we don't run the risk of breaking tabs. You must have been an installer/product designer/engineer in another life...or, possibly, have automotive DNA ( like from your dad). Either way, you have a knack for this sort of things. And probably some gymnast DNA for all the contortions necessary to get everywhere you need to go for this (like when you cleaned/replaced the air filters). One day we'll see a Marvel movie revealing which super hero you are! The finished product looks great. I said it last time, your demo with music and camp mode is awesome and the company should pay you for the rights and display it on their site. That alone would sell tons of these! Good job, SJA!

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

Thank you, Bruce!! Yep, I’m pretty proud that I haven’t broken a clip so far. I definitely have some mechanic blood 😂 I just love ripping these cars apart!!!!!!! Definitely have to be a contortionist though! That’s for sure! I was upside down for this one too in the passenger footwell, just didn’t show it because I was too hot and frustrated for fun shots 😆

@julianfoot8748 2 года назад

Good Job SJ! Ive just put the Tesla OEM mudguards on my Series 3. Wasn't a hard install, but I didn't use the splashguard as it had a minuscule ground clearance. Here in Australia they would be scuffing the ground all the time. Would be interested in your view.

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

Oh interesting! I’ll have to look at them. I haven’t

@chrisdewild9627 2 года назад

Very good job Sara! I’ve been thinking of getting something like this, mostly because I found out that it’s almost impossible to use auto pilot and FSD when it’s pitch dark out. My interior is so dark that my car will keep telling me to take over because it thinks I’m not watching the road because it can’t see my eyes. I’m definitely going to have to get some sort of interior lighting.

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

That’s weird… is that a thing? I thought by touching the wheel regularly that would be enough. Hmmmm well this would work.

@chrisdewild9627 2 года назад

@@SaraJAwesome I’m not sure why I was having trouble with it but I may have an idea. We were going on a long trip to Vegas (traveled over 2,300 miles total there and back) and we recently bought a sun visor for the glass roof. The morning we left it was dark out because we left so early. The first 1 and a half hours of driving, I pretty much could not use FSD/Autopilot/Cruise Control because every few minutes it kept telling me to take over. It was sensing my eyes the whole trip but when it was dark it couldn’t see them apparently. I think the visor contributed to it. Also, even when I’d look at the screen too long while in autopilot it’d send out warnings. It was interesting but I’m not sure if it’s just a beta thing or what.

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

It would be interesting to see a follow-up video on this, in 3 to 6 months, letting us know how well this thing ages. Does the tube lighting stay put? Do rear seat passengers kick the footwell lights? Do any of the tucked wires get nicked or pulled out? I admire your tenacity in getting this install done, esp. in the Houston heat!

@SaraJAwesome 2 года назад

When it’s cooler out I will probably take some of the extra wire and spice it to extend that wire between the plug into the power box. That way I can put the power box and the other jumbled wires more under the hvac system. If that makes sense. I think I just need some wire connectors from Home Depot. But I’m not sure.

@johnmartinez5979 Год назад

Hey Sara love the video content keep it up. Question is it worth buying it due to seeing lots of mix reviews on Amazon. I’m kind of iffy on buying it since it is cheap. And since you gotten the lights do they still work?

@SaraJAwesome Год назад

My lights still work, and I still love them. BUT hiding those wires was such a pain in the butt I would not buy this same kit again. I could do such a better job redesigning the wires to easily hide all of them. Now if you’re capable of splicing wires to extend some and shorten others, then you could make it better. But I wasn’t willing to do that. Out of curiosity, what state do you live in?

@@SaraJAwesome Thanks for the insight. That’s actually great to hear that they still work. I really want them to last longer than what the reviews say.
