Catalog bulb positions and codes for the 2012 Tesla Model S. Confirm against your owner’s manual before buying.

Fitment notes

For the 2012 Tesla Model S, headlight bulb fitment depends on the headlight type installed. Models with halogen headlights use a 9005 bulb for both the low beam and high beam. Models with HID headlights use a D3S bulb for both functions. Confirm whether the vehicle has halogen or HID headlights before ordering, since these applications are not interchangeable.

  • Low beam: 9005 with halogen headlights; D3S with HID headlights.
  • High beam: 9005 with halogen headlights; D3S with HID headlights.
  • Fog, daytime running, parking, tail, brake, center stop, reverse, and turn signal lights: LED.
  • Front and rear side markers: LED.
  • License plate light: 6418.

The supplied fitment data lists LED lighting for the other exterior applications, while the license plate light uses a replaceable 6418 bulb.
