LED Tail Light Strips Explained: Arrow, Flowing, Brake and Running Lights

LED tail light strips have become the most popular rear-light upgrade for cars and trucks — and the names can be confusing. Here is what each type actually does.

Arrow strips

An arrow tail light strip shows a moving arrow when you indicate. The LED Arrow Tail Light Strip (12V–24V) adds flashing turn signals plus brake and warning functions in one strip, so drivers behind you see your intention earlier than with a standard bulb.

Flowing / sequential strips

Flowing strips light up in sequence rather than all at once. The effect is the same idea as the arrow — movement catches the eye faster than a static light — and suits both cars and trucks.

Brake, turn and running in one bar

The Arrow LED Light Bar combines brake, turn and running functions in a single bar for trucks, trailers and recovery vehicles. One unit, three jobs, and a much larger lit area than a factory tail lamp.

Control boxes

Strips like the Mini Tail Light come with a control box that manages the strip's modes. A control box is worth having: it keeps the strip's patterns stable and makes wiring simpler than splicing modes by hand.

Voltage and fitment

Check whether your vehicle is 12V or 24V before ordering — the arrow strip above covers both. Measure the space where the strip will sit, and confirm the strip's length suits your tailgate, bumper or trailer board.
