What does a brake light bulb do?
A brake light bulb is responsible for lighting up your brake lights when you apply the brake pedal.

Lexus
Lexus is the luxury division of the Japanese automotive manufacturer Toyota.
The Lexus brand was launched in 1989, is marketed in more than 70 countries worldwide, and has become Japan’s largest-selling make of premium cars.
How popular is Lexus in the United Kingdom?
For such a high-flying global leader, Lexus has a seemingly modest 156k cars on the road in the UK today.
Luxury executive vehicles for the discerning driver
In the UK, the Lexus brand focuses heavily on the NX and RX SUV models, it’s the fastest growing market for family cars after all; but each of the hatchbacks, saloons and coupés in its range come with the same high-level of luxury and sophistication for their £25–£76k price tags.
Lexus design and technology
Lexus was born to present itself as a luxury brand, something Toyota wasn’t in a position to market to their typical customer given their existing brand perception. To achieve a true luxury standard, they have targeted both vehicle development as well as their lavish presentation.
‘Lexus Musts’
Each vehicle has to achieve 500 specific must have standards known as ‘Lexus Musts’, all of which are to attain the high-end presentation and performance of a ‘true’ luxury marque.
Although they might not all be ‘Lexus Musts’ you can expect to find criteria such as leather seat stitching, smart key entry, remote touch control systems, surround sound and reduced cabin noise that utilises acoustic glass, in your Lexus vehicle. And the driving technology is just as impressive: Lexus introduced continuously variable transmissions, regenerative brakes, hybrid and electric fuel options, as well as vehicle stability and integrated dynamic handling management systems.
How often should brake light bulbs need replacing?
As with any car part, the quality of the bulb and how often it is used will determine how often the bulb needs to be replaced. Some bulbs can last for up to five or six years (traditional, incandescent bulbs). However, more modern LED bulbs have a life expectancy of around 12 years. Another factor that can affect the life of the vehicle is the amount of voltage running through the wiring. The higher the voltage, the shorter the lifespan of the bulb.
The law, vehicle regulations and your MOT
As they are an important safety feature, your brake lights will be checked during your MOT. If your lights are found to be faulty or completely broken, your car will fail its MOT. To avoid this unnecessary cost you should regularly check your brake lights and replace them whenever necessary.
What causes a brake light bulb to break?
Brake light bulbs can break for a variety of reasons. For example, because of a blown fuse, if water has seeped into the light or over time they can simply wear out. The most important thing is that you replace the bulbs as soon as possible as it can be very dangerous to drive without them.
What are the signs of a bad brake light bulb?
Usually, there a few signs you can look for:
If your brake lights no longer light up at all when you apply the brakes
