TLYARD Dashboard and Centre Console Ambient Light

This is my version of how to install #tlyard cabin ambient lights for the earlier generation #Tesla Model 3/Y. These LED ambient lights fits on the dashboard and centre console. You can power it up via the USB port inside the glovebox (NOT RECOMMENDED) or via the 12V cigarette lighter socket in the centre armrest (RECOMMENDED). Watch the video to learn more!
