Kinda late on the party, but oof this one hits in the soul a bit.
I put carbon fiber on the inside and outside of mine, plus I have a silly vanity plate. :crackup:
Still love my 1E, have kept the mileage low and I'm still positive on loan to value. This is the first brand new vehicle I've ever purchased, I'm paying it down extra each month, and expect to drive it until I can't anymore.
I purchased a 10yr, 100k B2B warranty when getting the vehicle and...
Nope, you're right. My wording is just off. Diode Dynamics has them listed as tail/backup but in reality they are brake/backup lights. The "tail" mentioned in your post is the surrounding bulb and is indeed LED. You can see in your table the three rear bulbs that need to be replaced if you want...
First thing I did after my purchase was replace the lights in the rear as they're the only non-LED lights on the car.
I went with Dynamic Diode for backup/tail and I got some on Amazon for the turn. Purchased the following:

This is an old thread but can confirm I did the same when I first got my FE BS and haven't looked back since! Put the sticker on the top of the air filter enclosure so the dealership doesn't try to swap it out.

After reading this thread, oh boy am I glad that I have common sense and a garage LOL
Best of luck to OP I suppose, hope they find the car of their dreams.

Just under 7k on my '21 First Edition, no recalls and no issues other than the occasional brake noise when backing up (high humidity or cold). Appointment backdated for March to have it fixed.
Low mileage since both the wife and I work from home and I absolutely love it. Living in Wisconsin...
I went with 35% all around /w 5% on the sunstrip. I would have went darker (had 20% on my last vehicle) but I share the car with the wife and her vision isn't as good, especially at night. This was a good compromise!
I also went with the ceramic tint; it was a bit more expensive but it does...
