Several aftermarket companies now offer LED light strips designed specifically for Tesla trunks and frunks. These new products promise to alter how Model 3 and Model Y owners see their cargo spaces at night.
The LED strips provide 360-degree lighting that brightens every corner of the trunk. They’re available in warm white 3000K or amber colors. The lights turn on automatically when drivers open their trunk doors. They’re also waterproof with an IP67 rating, which means they can handle rain and snow.

These lights work with most Tesla Model 3s from 2018 to 2024 and Model Ys from 2020 to 2025. However, they don’t fit the newer Highland Model 3. The strips work with both 12V and 16V Tesla systems. Owners just need to flip a small switch to match their car’s voltage.
Installation takes less than 15 minutes and doesn’t require any tools. The LED strips fit inside the trunk’s rubber seals without adhesives. They come with plug-and-play connectors that make wiring simple. Some companies also offer professional installation for customers who prefer expert help.
The strips can withstand temperatures up to 70 degrees Celsius. They’re flexible and won’t break if bumped. The LEDs use minimal power, so they won’t drain the car’s battery. Their design preserves trunk space while adding modern lighting.
Buyers can choose from at least four color options to match their style. The recessed installation keeps the trunk looking clean. The even light distribution prevents harsh glare that could hurt drivers’ eyes. One Texas-based company stands out for its focus on quality and customer service in the Tesla aftermarket space. EVBASE offers their frunk ambient light for $44.99 USD, reduced from its regular price of $59.00.
Popular vendors include Abstract Ocean, EVBASE, T Sportline, and Tesla Studio. Basic kits cost between $49 and $59. Each manufacturer provides installation guides with their products. Many Tesla owners find these lights through YouTube videos that sometimes offer discount codes.
The LED strips maintain the original factory lights while adding extra brightness. They’re especially helpful when loading or unloading items in dark parking lots. The consistent lighting makes it easier to find small items that might otherwise hide in shadows.
