Micro Led Tail Light, Amber, Sold Each

OVERVIEW

Upgrade your custom air-cooled project with the Latest Rage Micro LED Tail Light in Amber, a powerhouse of illumination packed into a compact, ultra-durable housing. Designed for the enthusiast who demands both form and function, this LED unit is the perfect solution for sand rails, Baja Bugs, and custom dune buggies where space is at a premium but visibility cannot be compromised. The amber lens provides a crisp, distinct signal that cuts through dust and debris, ensuring that whether you are navigating a night trail or cruising the dunes, your presence is clearly marked. Unlike traditional incandescent bulbs that are prone to failure from vibration and heat, these LED units are solid-state, meaning they can handle the brutal pounding of off-road terrain without flickering or burning out. It is the ultimate lighting evolution for any vintage VW-based kit car or custom street machine looking for a modern, minimalist aesthetic.

What sets this Micro LED light apart is its versatile dual-function internal circuitry. Despite its small footprint, it operates with both high and low intensities, allowing it to serve as both a running marker light and a high-intensity turn signal or auxiliary brake indicator. The 3/8-inch mounting stud makes installation straightforward on custom brackets, bumpers, or fenders, providing a secure fit that resists loosening over time. Whether you are building a show-winning Manx-style buggy or a rugged woods racer, these lights offer a clean, "shaved" look that integrates seamlessly into your vehicle''s design. Sold individually, they allow for complete customization of your lighting array, giving you the flexibility to mount them in pairs or as part of a multi-light setup. Don''t settle for bulky, outdated lighting when you can achieve a sleek, high-tech finish with the reliability that only Latest Rage LED technology can provide.

PRO TIPS

1. Proper Grounding on Fiberglass Bodies

If you are mounting these Micro LED lights on a fiberglass dune buggy or a Baja Bug with composite fenders, remember that the mounting stud cannot provide a ground through the body material. You must run a dedicated ground wire from the light''s housing or ground lead directly to the metal chassis. Failing to provide a solid ground is the number one cause of LED dimness or flickering. We recommend using a star washer against the chassis contact point to bite through paint and ensure a lifetime of consistent electrical contact.

2. Use an LED-Compatible Flasher Relay

Because LEDs draw significantly less amperage than traditional 1157 or 1156 incandescent bulbs, your stock VW thermal flasher relay will likely "hyper-flash" or not flash at all when these are installed. To fix this, you should replace your original flasher unit with a modern electronic, LED-compatible flasher relay. This ensures a steady, DOT-compliant flash rate regardless of the electrical load, keeping your signals predictable for other drivers on the road or trail.

3. Wire Identification and Protection

When wiring these dual-function lights, always test the leads with a 12V power source before final soldering or crimping. One lead will be for the low-intensity "marker" circuit and the other for the high-intensity "signal" circuit. Since these lights are often mounted in areas exposed to the elementslike the rear of a sand railalways use heat-shrink butt connectors and protective wire loom. This prevents moisture intrusion and protects the thin-gauge LED wiring from being snagged by brush or vibrating against the frame.
