AlphaRex LUXX-Series LED Tail Lights Black Smoke (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 Smoke tail lights fit the 2012-2021 Tesla Model S? Yes. The AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black Smoke tail lights are built 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 does the Black Smoke finish look like, and how does it differ from Alpha-Black and Black-Red? All three LUXX-Series Model S finishes share the same LED light source, sequential turn signal, LED tube accent, Air Breather vents, polypropylene housing, and polycarbonate lens. Black Smoke uses a dark tinted lens treatment that partially obscures the internal lighting elements when the lights are off, giving the rear a smoked, low-profile appearance. Alpha-Black uses a darkened housing interior with a subtle reflective quality, while Black-Red pairs a black interior with visible red lens elements for a more traditional contrast. When illuminated, all three function identically.

What does the black trunk center piece replacement do, and is it included? The black trunk center piece replaces the factory center section running between the tail lights at the rear of the Model S. It is designed to match the Black Smoke finish and unify the rear lighting assembly into a cohesive smoked appearance rather than leaving the factory center piece in place. The product title confirms it is part of this package; confirm with AlphaRex that it is reflected in the final what’s included section before the listing goes live.

How does the sequential turn signal work on the LUXX-Series Black Smoke tail lights? The amber sequential turn signal sweeps across the housing in a smooth, continuous motion each time the signal activates, rather than flashing all at once. The sweeping pattern is more visible from behind than a conventional static flash, which is a meaningful safety advantage given how low the Model S sits relative to surrounding traffic. It runs on the factory turn signal circuit with no additional wiring required.

Will the smoked lens affect how bright the tail lights appear when illuminated? The source content does not specify light output measurements for the Black Smoke lens, so a precise comparison cannot be made here. What the source confirms is that the tail lights use high-output LED technology designed to deliver strong lighting performance. For specific output data or a direct comparison against the clear-lens versions, confirming those details with AlphaRex before purchase is the right call.

What should Model S owners know before installing these tail lights? The AlphaRex LUXX-Series Black Smoke tail lights are plug-and-play and connect directly to the factory wiring harness with no modifications required. Tesla vehicles use onboard diagnostics that can flag non-OEM components, so verifying compatibility with the vehicle’s software and electrical system before installation is a sensible precaution. Installation instructions and all required mounting hardware are included in the box, covering both the tail lights and the trunk center piece.
