Independent studies conducted many years ago proved that the addition of a Center High Mount Stop Lamp (CHMSL) helped reduce rear end collisions by 50%, so the NHTSA mandated that all new cars be so equipped effective with the 1986 model year. While you should keep all your lights in good working order for safety, with such percentages it’s particularly important to make sure your Automotive brake light, is in good repair. We offer bolt-on custom and replacement brake lights for cars, trucks and SUVs as well as universal fit lights so you can stay safe on the road.

One of our factory replacement 3rd brake lights is identical to the original equipment light you can purchase from the car dealer in every respect except for the price. It will fit, function and appear just like the one that was installed by the automaker on the assembly line, it just won’t lighten your wallet as much. Our third brake lights mount the same way and the electrical connectors mate seamlessly with factory wiring harnesses. They’re 100% legal for highway use and meet all DOT (Department of Transportation) regulations and all U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards.

Choose the Right Parts for Long-Lasting Results

Not only are LED bulbs long-lasting, but they also provide a crisp, sharp light. It's easy to see how these tiny bulbs can increase the safety of your vehicle, regardless of the road conditions. From cross-country adventures to your daily commute, breathe easier and enjoy increased visibility with these lights. Because of the required tinted red cover, your brake lights need to be extra bright to cut through the rain, fog or snowfall and provide clear and effective signalling. Lights are rated based not only on their lifespan but also their lumens. A high lumen light provides greater visibility. Choose brake lights that can deliver the light you need. Each brake light is supported by a reflector, which increased the brightness and overall visibility of your vehicle when braking. Some bulbs are also usable for running lights or reverse lights for all-day safety.

LEDs are unaffected by vibration, unlike the fragile filaments in incandescent bulbs, so they’re perfect for cars that have to traverse pothole strewn, decaying roads and trucks and SUVs that venture off-road over rough terrain. But beyond the functional benefits, you’ll want one of our custom 3rd Automotive brake lights just for the way it looks. Our selection includes a wide variety of styles and finishes, including chrome, black, and with smoke lenses. We even have units with the latest in lighting technology, fiber optics. The optic fibers in these lights form unique, eye-catching bands that illuminate in a neon-like glow along their entire length. These 3rd brake lights are the perfect complement to a set of LED tail lights or fiber optic tail lights.
