Brake lights are essential for responsible driving as they protect your safety by signaling to other drivers your intentions to slow down or stop while navigating the roads. With brake lights lighting up every time that you press the brake pedal, they will eventually light up for the last time. When this happens, you increase your chances of being pulled over and receiving a ticket; or even worse – getting rear-ended. With the complexities of changing a brake light increasing with the complexities of late-model vehicles, it is usually more convenient and hassle-free to have brake light replacement performed at a reputable service department by a certified technician.
Testing the performance of your vehicle’s brakes is easy as long as you can recruit a friend’s assistance. While one person sits inside the cabin, the second person stands behind the vehicle with a clear view of the brake lights. When the first person pushes, the brake pedal, the second person verifies that the brake lights are illuminating properly. If a light does not illuminate when the brake pedal gets pushed, this is a clear indication of a blown-out light. It is also important to remember that some models have more than two brake lights with the third positioned at the top-center of the back window.
