Taillights

Does the rear of your pickup or SUV need a more modern look and clearer signals to the traffic behind you? This category brings together complete LED taillights and third brake light brackets for you who want to replace the original lights as part of your project.

What new taillights can do for your vehicle

A taillight typically combines position lights, brake lights and often turn signals and reverse lights in one housing. LED taillights can light up faster than incandescent bulbs and give a more even light pattern, but brightness and design depend on the specific product. For example, AlphaRex LUXX-Series LED Tail Lights are available in several versions such as black and black/red, and some variants have sequential turn signals. The category also includes brands such as ANZO, Raxiom, Hella and ORACLE Lighting.

How to choose taillights

• Fitment: Taillights are made for specific models and model years, e.g. Dodge Ram 1500 or Toyota 4Runner. Compare your vehicle's model year with the product description.
• Electronics: LEDs draw less power than incandescent bulbs, which on some vehicles can cause an error message or hyper flashing. Whether you need resistors or a different flasher relay depends on the vehicle and the product.
• Appearance: The colour of the lens and housing affects both the style of your vehicle and how the light appears.
• Approval: Whether the lights are legal for road use and inspection depends on the product and the vehicle. Check the E-mark for the specific part number.

Installation and interaction with the rest of the lighting

Many taillights are designed for the vehicle's existing mounts and connectors, but some require adapter harnesses or additional modification – check this for each individual product. We also carry parts such as the third brake light extension bracket for the Ford Bronco 21-22. If you want the front turn signals to match, take a look at turn signals, while LED bulbs are an option if you only want to change the light source in the original lights – here too, approval depends on the product. If you want to give the front the same look, take a look at headlights.

Frequently asked questions

Why do the turn signals flash quickly after switching to LED taillights?

LEDs draw less power than incandescent bulbs, and some vehicles interpret this as a failed bulb. This can typically be solved with resistors or an LED-compatible flasher relay, but the solution depends on the vehicle and the taillight.

Can black LED taillights pass inspection?

That depends on the specific light and vehicle. Check whether the part number is E-marked and that the brake lights, turn signals and reverse lights have the correct colour and brightness. You cannot assume that an entire series is approved.

What does sequential turn signal mean on a taillight?

With sequential turn signals, the LEDs in the indicator section light up step by step in one direction instead of all at once. The function is built into certain taillights, e.g. some variants of the AlphaRex LUXX-Series.
