This high-mount brake projection board is compatible with Tesla Model 3 (2017–Present, including Highland) and Model Y (2020–Present, including Juniper), designed to attach to the vehicle's high-mount brake light (third brake light). It addresses a key safety need of Model 3/Y owners: enhancing rearward visibility for following vehicles during braking, while adding a personalized visual touch—all without modifying the original brake light system or violating road safety rules.
Crafted for durability and all-weather use, the projection board uses high-transparency PVC material with a scratch-resistant coating. The material is lightweight (avoids adding extra load to the brake light), waterproof, and UV-resistant—no yellowing or cracking in rain, snow, or direct sunlight. It features a pre-cut projection pattern (common options include "TESLA" logos, warning symbols, or simple geometric designs) that lights up when the high-mount brake light is activated.
Unlike generic brake light accessories that block light or misalign, this projection board is engineered using 1:1 original high-mount brake light data of Model 3/Y:
- Perfect Alignment: The board's size (28×8×2 cm) matches the exact dimensions of the high-mount brake light, fitting snugly over the light surface without covering critical light-emitting areas.
- No Light Blockage: The high-transparency PVC material ensures 90%+ light transmittance—when the brake light is on, the original red warning light remains fully visible, and the projection pattern overlays it (no reduction in safety signaling).
- No Function Disruption: Attaches to the exterior of the brake light (no internal modifications), so the original brake light's brightness, response speed, or electrical system are not affected.
The projection design delivers both practical safety value and aesthetic customization:
- Enhanced Warning Signal: The projected pattern (e.g., "TESLA" logo or bright symbol) expands the visual area of the brake light, making it more noticeable to following vehicles—especially in low-light conditions (dusk, night) or heavy traffic.
- Distance Perception: The projected image creates a subtle "reference point" for rear drivers, helping them judge the braking distance more accurately, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions.
- Customized Projection: The pre-cut pattern adds a unique touch to the vehicle's rear end without being overly flashy—avoids the "aftermarket clutter" look of loud stickers or neon accessories.
- Brand Consistency: For Model 3/Y owners, patterns like the "TESLA" logo align with the vehicle's brand identity, keeping the exterior cohesive and premium.
The PVC material is optimized for long-term outdoor use, solving the shortcomings of cheap plastic or paper accessories:
- Waterproof & Dustproof: Sealed edges and waterproof PVC prevent rain, car wash water, or road dust from seeping into the brake light or damaging the board—works normally in all weather conditions.
- UV Resistance: The scratch-resistant coating blocks UV rays, preventing the board from fading, yellowing, or becoming brittle over time (maintains clarity for 1–2 years).
- Hassle-Free Cleaning: Wipe the board with a damp cloth to remove dust, mud, or bug residue—no need for specialized cleaners, and the material dries quickly without streaks.
Installation requires no technical skills, relying on simple adhesive attachment:
- Clean the Brake Light: Wipe the surface of the high-mount brake light with an alcohol pad (or damp cloth) to remove oil, dust, or wax—ensures strong adhesive bonding.
- Align & Stick: Peel the protective film from the double-sided adhesive tape on the back of the projection board, then position the board over the brake light (align edges with the light's frame).
- Press to Secure: Apply firm pressure evenly across the board for 30 seconds to ensure the adhesive sticks—avoid washing the vehicle for 24 hours to let the adhesive set fully.
- Model Exclusivity: Only fits Tesla Model 3 (2017–Present) and Model Y (2020–Present). It will not fit Model S/X (different high-mount brake light sizes) or non-Tesla vehicles—confirm your vehicle’s model and year before purchasing.
- Road Legal Check: While the board does not block the original brake light, verify local road regulations—some regions restrict "custom brake light projections" to avoid distracting other drivers.
- Avoid High Temperatures: Do not use a hair dryer or heat gun near the board (e.g., when removing adhesive residue)—PVC may warp at extreme temperatures (above 80°C).
