Tail lights provide rear visibility, brake indication, and reversing illumination. A damaged tail light is an MOT failure and a safety risk. Modern tail lights use LED arrays or combination bulbs within a sealed housing. At CarParts247 we stock tail lights from Hella, Magneti Marelli, and ULO.
Tail light faults and failures
The most common tail light failure is a blown bulb, but cracked housings, water ingress, and wiring faults can also affect function. LED tail lights rarely fail from bulb burnout but can develop segment failures.
- Blown bulb — brake, tail, indicator, or reverse light not working
- Cracked or broken lens from rear impact or thermal stress
- Water inside the tail light housing causing bulb corrosion
- LED segment failure — part of the light cluster dim or out
- Fast-flashing indicator — usually a blown indicator bulb (or LED resistor issue)
Replacement and bulb types
Tail light replacement is usually straightforward — remove a few fasteners and disconnect the wiring plug. Always check bulb type before ordering as many vehicles use specific dual-filament or offset-pin bulbs.
- Check whether your vehicle uses bulb-type or full LED tail lights before ordering
- Replace the gasket or seal if the housing shows signs of moisture ingress
- Test all bulb functions after fitting: tail, brake, indicator, reverse, fog
- Use the correct wattage bulb — higher wattage can melt the lens or socket
- LED replacement bulbs may need a CANbus resistor to prevent error warnings

Dažnai užduodami klausimai
Is a cracked tail light an MOT failure?
Yes. A cracked lens that shows white light to the rear or allows water to enter the housing is an MOT failure. Even a small crack can be flagged as an advisory.
Can I repair a cracked tail light?
Red lens repair tape is a temporary fix for minor cracks. For MOT purposes and long-term reliability, replacement is the correct solution.
Why does my indicator flash fast on one side?
A fast-flashing indicator almost always means a blown bulb on that side. Check all indicator bulbs — front, side, and rear. On LED retrofits, a CANbus resistor may be needed.
Are LED tail lights repairable?
In most cases, LED tail lights are replaced as a complete unit because the LEDs are soldered to the circuit board. Some specialists offer board-level repair for expensive OEM units.
