AlphaRex LUXX-Series LED Tail Lights Black-Red (With Black Trunk Center Piece Replacement) for MS Tesla Model S

The Tesla Model S is a proven platform that continues to attract enthusiasts looking for purposeful lighting upgrades. AlphaRex has developed dedicated tail lights to complement the vehicle’s front-end character with a refined, OEM-inspired look with precision LED optics. The LUXX-Series tail lights are purpose-built to enhance both aesthetics and on-road visibility without compromising fit, function, or regulatory compliance.

Light Features

• The Tesla Model S tail lights use a LED light design powered by high-output LED technology for both low and high beam. A slim LED tube along the lower edge of the housing provides distinctive accent lighting. Amber sequential turn signals create a sweeping, dynamic indicator effect. An activation startup sequence illuminates the front lighting array at ignition for a signature visual impression.

Breathing Vents

• Condensation is a common challenge in both OEM and aftermarket tail lights, as moisture can accumulate inside housings due to temperature changes even with strong seals. To address this, Nitto Denko TEMISH® CAPSEAL™ air vents promote efficient moisture discharge in the Tesla Model S tail lights. These vents improve airflow within the housing so moisture can escape naturally, functioning like a breathing mechanism, earning them the “Air Breathers” name.

Housing

• The tail lights housing is constructed from high-quality polypropylene (PP) for lasting durability. Polypropylene’s strong resistance to heat and moisture helps maintain reliable performance across a wide range of driving conditions and climates.

Lens

• The Tesla Model S tail lights use high-quality polycarbonate lenses engineered to withstand extreme weather conditions while delivering excellent lighting performance. An anti-fog coating reduces internal fogging and improves visibility in changing conditions. A protective UV-resistant coating is also applied to resist yellowing and oxidation, keeping the lenses clear and looking newer for longer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do the AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black-Red tail lights fit the Tesla Model S? Yes. The AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black-Red tail lights are built specifically for the Tesla Model S (MS), covering model years 2012 through 2021. They use direct OEM fitment with no cutting, drilling, or bracket modifications required. Tesla Model S vehicles outside that production window are not a compatible application for this tail light.

What is included with this version, and what does the trunk center piece replacement do? Each purchase includes one pair of AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black-Red tail lights covering both the driver and passenger sides, along with a black trunk center piece replacement, all required mounting hardware, and installation instructions. The black trunk center piece replaces the factory center section between the tail lights to complete the blacked-out rear appearance that the Black-Red housing finish establishes. For full installation details on the center piece, confirm the process with AlphaRex before beginning the swap.

How does the sequential turn signal work on the LUXX-Series Tesla Model S tail lights? The AlphaRex LUXX-Series uses an amber sequential turn signal that sweeps across the housing in a smooth, fluid motion rather than flashing all at once. On a vehicle like the Model S, where the rear lighting spans the full width of the car, the sweeping effect is particularly noticeable and more attention-grabbing than a conventional static flash. It runs on the factory turn signal circuit with no additional wiring required.

Can condensation form inside these tail lights, and how is it managed? Yes, condensation is a risk in any sealed lighting housing. Temperature changes cause moisture inside the housing cavity to cool and collect on the lens interior, regardless of how well the housing is sealed. The AlphaRex LUXX-Series addresses this with Nitto Denko TEMISH CAPSEAL Air Breather vents integrated into the housing. These vents allow air to move in and out naturally so moisture can escape before it accumulates, rather than being trapped inside a fully sealed cavity.

What are the tail light housing and lenses made from? The housing is polypropylene (PP), a material that resists heat and moisture across a range of climates and driving conditions. The lenses are polycarbonate with two coatings applied: an anti-fog coating to reduce internal fogging in variable weather, and a UV-resistant coating to slow yellowing and oxidation so the lenses stay clearer over time.

Is installation plug-and-play on the Tesla Model S? Yes. The AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black-Red tail lights connect directly to the factory wiring harness with no modifications needed. Installation instructions are included in the box. As with any lighting modification on a Tesla, confirming compatibility with the vehicle’s software and electrical system before installation is a reasonable precaution, since Tesla vehicles can flag non-OEM components through onboard diagnostics.
