ASTON MARTIN VANTAGE Rear Facelift Lights / Carbon Fiber Taillights

For the Aston Martin Vantage, the term “facelift lights” typically refers to two different generations: the iconic clear light upgrade for the 2005–2018 models or the ultra-thin LED bar found on the 2018–2026 models.

If you are looking for Carbon Fiber elements, these are usually handled as “Infills” or “Finishers” rather than the light housing itself.

1. Second-Gen Vantage (2018–2026)

The modern Vantage features a continuous LED light blade that traces the “ducktail” rear end.

• The Facelift (2025+): While the 2025 facelift focused heavily on the front end and interior, the rear light remains the ultra-thin LED strip.

• Carbon Fiber Accents: Carbon is typically found on the Rear Diffuser surrounding the lights or as a Carbon Fiber Tailgate Trim that sits just above the light bar.

• Part Number (Standard Light): KY63-13404-BD (Right) / KY63-13405-DD (Left).

• Market Price: OEM replacement units cost approximately $1,500 – $2,200 per side.

2. Classic Vantage (2005–2018) – The “Clear Light” Facelift

The most popular “facelift” for the older Vantage is replacing the original red-lensed lights with the “Clear/White” units seen on the V12 Vantage and later “S” models.

Carbon Fiber Rear Lamp Infills (Part: CD33-78-10115)

The most sought-after carbon accessory is the Infill (or Finisher). This is the horizontal plastic strip that runs through the middle of the light.

• OEM Carbon Infill: This is a genuine 2×2 twill carbon fiber piece that replaces the body-colored painted strip.

• Cost: Approximately $1,950 for a pair of genuine infills.

   

• Aftermarket: Companies like Exotic Car Gear or ECPS offer carbon “caps” or full replacement infills for $550 – $850.

Summary of Options (2026)

Installation Warning

• The “Vantage Moisture” Issue: All Vantage taillights (old and new) are prone to condensation. When installing new or carbon-trimmed lights, ensure the Fixing Foam Washers (4G43-13520-AB) are brand new and properly seated to prevent water ingress.

• Wiring: Facelift clear lights on very early (2006–2007) cars may require a small resistors/harness tweak to avoid “bulb out” warnings on the dash.
