Rear lamps that make the vehicle read correctly to the traffic behind it.
Taillights are the driver's language to the car following. Sequential strips, brake intensity, and reverse throw all have to match spec — we stock assemblies that do exactly that.

The tail-lamp catalog
We stock rear lamps by side, technology (incandescent vs LED), lens tint (smoked, red, clear), and sequential-signal capability where the vehicle uses it. Sub-SKUs branch on inner vs outer position for quarter-panel and lift-gate assemblies.
Common tail-lamp replacements
Rear-end collision damage
Even minor hits crack lenses and mounting studs.
Failed LED strip
When one section of an LED signature goes dark, the whole assembly is the fix.
Aesthetic upgrades
Owners upgrade to smoked or sequential variants where available.
Symptoms of a dying tail lamp
Some things you should never let a customer drive away with:
- Cracked or missing lens sections
- Moisture pooling inside the housing
- LED segments dark or flickering
- Broken mounting studs allowing the lens to sit proud

Rear lamp materials
Acrylic lens
Injection-molded lens with UV stabilizer.
PC housing
Polycarbonate rear housing for impact and heat resistance.
LED PCB
Driver circuit with individual LED emitters for signature lighting.
Getting the tail lamp right
Order both halves for lift-gate cars
Inner and outer lenses meet at the trunk seam. A mismatch reads immediately.
Match LED to LED
LED and incandescent produce different color temperatures. Don't mix.
Check the socket type
Some cars use dual-filament sockets, others separate. The assembly must match the harness.
