Brake light is a lamp located at the rear light cluster of the car, that comes on in red every time driver applies brakes. Put differently, it is there to draw attention, that the vehicle is about to throttle down or will achieve a full stop. Ensuring that both brake lights are working is very important to make sure slowing down the vehicle is easily observable by others. As long as the brake lights of the vehicle are defective, the driver at the back is less acute to speed changes of the car in front and the vehicles might collide. If either brake light is not responding, be sure you replace the bulb as soon as possible. When preparing to repair failed brake light, be certain you have an adequate bulb.

The life-time of a bulb is limited. Sooner or later, it will burn out and will have to be replaced. Bulbs, made of high quality materials, tend to last longer. It's recommended to use well known brand replacement bulbs.

If bulb burns out right after installation, your vehicle might have a problem inside electrical system - have it checked by auto electrician.
