Fiber Optic Tail Lights

Many of the latest high-end luxury cars have tail lights with what appear to be neon tubes. Instead of individual bulbs, these lights have unique bands that emit a neon-like glow. However, these lights have no neon gas, but instead owe their appearance to optical fibers, which can be made of thin strands of glass or plastic. A source of light, usually LED bulbs, is located at the end of the fiber and the light is emitted along the entire length. Now you can get this distinctive, cutting-edge look for your car or truck with our custom fiber optic tail lights.

Fiber optic tail lights are the very latest in automotive lighting, combining up-to-the-minute advances in LED (Light Emitting Diode) and fiber optic technology, and you’re sure to see them on more and more cars and trucks as the years go by. But you don’t have to buy a new vehicle to enjoy the appearance and performance of these eye-catching tail lights. Browse our extensive selection and you’ll find fiber optic tail lights in a wide range of styles. Punch in your vehicle’s year, make, and model to see what we have for your car or truck.

Our manufacturers have created many cutting edge tail light designs with fiber optics as the main feature. We have lights with black or chrome backgrounds and black or bright trim. The fiber optic segments are generally combined with clusters of individual LED bulbs, all organized in intricate, attention-grabbing arrangements. Running and brake lights glow in red, and on some applications, in amber for signal lights and white for reverse lights. This brilliant illumination emanates from under clear, red, or smoke tinted lenses. And getting this incomparable styling and superior illumination is easy because our fiber optic tail lights are a direct replacement for your factory lights, with simple, bolt-on, plug-and-play installation.

While fiber optic cable will work with virtually any light source, our tail lights use LED bulbs exclusively, so you not only get cutting edge styling and design, you get all the advantages of LEDs too. Fiber optic LED tail lights can increase your driving safety. LED bulbs have a 0.2 second faster rise time than incandescent bulbs. And we all know how fast light travels: as soon as the LED bulb illuminates, so will the fiber optic cable. That miniscule 0.2 second time period may not seem enough to make a difference until you consider that a car traveling at 60 miles per hour covers 88 feet in just one second. That fraction of a second gives the driver behind you almost 20 ft. of additional stopping distance, which could be the difference between a safe stop and a collision.

Another benefit you’ll gain from installing a set of fiber optic LED tail lights is reduced maintenance costs. LED bulbs are much more efficient and consume less power, and they’re far more durable. Although their initial price may be a bit more expensive than a set of ordinary replacement tail lights with incandescent bulbs, besides the great looks that the factory lights just can’t match, our fiber optic LED tail lights will more than make up for the price difference in the long run because you’ll never have to buy replacement bulbs or go through the hassle of bulb replacement. LED bulbs last 50,000 hours or more, much longer than the service life expectancy of an incandescent bulb and far longer than the lifespan of the average vehicle.

An incandescent bulb has a filament inside a glass bulb containing an inert gas. Electrical current is applied to heat the filament until it glows. The fragile filament is the Achilles heel of the incandescent bulb and often the cause of bulb failure. The delicate filament is sensitive to vibration and continued and excessive shock can weaken the filament and cause the bulb to fail. In contrast, LEDs have no filament, they’re semiconductors that emit light when current is applied, and are insensitive to vibration. Optical fiber, glass or plastic, is also much more durable than brittle filaments. Fiber optic LED tail lights not only provide an unmatched appearance, they deliver dependable illumination because they’re unaffected by the roughest pot hole-strewn roads or toughest off-road terrain.
