Your automotive lights include headlights, fog lights, and taillights assembly. Your tail lights assembly is comprised of a pair of signal lights, reverse lights, and parking lights or brake lights. In the mid 80s, a center brake light was installed at the highest point of a compact car, truck, and sports utility vehicle SUV. The traditional right and left brake lights were required for car safety. At that time, third brake lights were called center high mount stop lamps, though it is most colloquially used as third brake lights, middle brake lights, center brake lights, safety brake lights, and high level brake lights. In the 80s, third brake lights used a single filament bulb, though many car enthusiasts prefer a row or group of LED light bulbs instead. Third brake lights were required by law to provide warning to following divers who may not be able to see the left and right brake lights. Third brake lights also serve to clarify if the driver is flashing his right or left turn lights or actually braking, in case there are blocking or interceding cars. Like the rest of your car lights system, your third brake light serve to protect you and other drivers on the road by warning them when you are braking. By utilizing LED technology, third brake light is more efficient and reacts faster than regular traditional tail lights powered by halogen light bulb.
In terms of style,third brake lights come in a variety of colors, including clear
3rd brake lamps styles, smoked third brake lights, amber third brake lights, and red 3rd brake lights. Though not parts of your taillights assembly like ordinary brake lights, your
third brake lights are mounted inside your compact car or sports utility vehicle, behind the back windshield. Third brake lights are generally thinner but broader than your ordinary brake lights in your taillights. If you own a truck, your third brake light might be attached on the frame of your back windshield.
Third brake lights are extremely important to your safety because it is the highest located lights on the back of your car. If a driver is tailgating you closely and you suddenly hit the brake, your 3rd brake lights are going to be the first brake lights he or she sees since it is in his or her direct vision, whereas the brake lights are a little lower in the vision.
