Brake lights warn other road users that the vehicle is going to stop or it is slowing down. They are activated by pressing the brake pedal. Some models are equipped with bulbs that change the light intensity depending on the force applied to the brake pedal.

5 tips on how to use and replace it

1. They have to be replaced when it is necessary. The lifespan of these parts is not limited by the manufacturers.
2. Bear in mind that even fault-free elements may not work because of blown fuses. Test them with a multimeter before replacing a brake light.
3. If both the bulbs and fuses are alright but the brake light still doesn’t work, it is better to visit a repair shop. Perhaps, that is because the switch that closes the circuit or some other wiring elements are broken. Specialists will test and replace the faulty components.
4. Before you mount any additional lighting elements, it is recommended to find out how many of them it is allowed to install according to the national legislation. Besides, you’ll need to know how high the additional brake lights should be above the road surface.
5. It is important to keep the devices clean, especially, in winter so that they remain conspicuous. Water and a soft cloth are enough for that.
