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. They are a crucial safety feature of your car, letting the people behind you know in plenty of time when you’re about to slow down. It’s a good idea to regularly check that all your brake lights are clearly visible and in good working order.
Peugeot
Peugeot is a French automotive manufacturer, initially founded in 1810 as a manufacturer of coffee and bicycles that went on to build internal combustion engine cars from 1890.
How popular is Peugeot in the United Kingdom?
With possibly its strongest model line-up in years, Peugeot is looking to turn around its current dip in vehicle numbers on the UK roads today. After a steady rise over the decade from 1995 to 2005, from 1.1million to 2.1million, the current tally has slowly dropped to a mere 1.8million—a strong total despite the depreciation in numbers.
A mixed range of sensibly priced cars
With 21 standard vehicle models available from the full Peugeot line-up, that’s a lot of choice when buying a car.
Without doubt, it’s their SUV offerings that are leading the way; the innovation and technology applied to these stronger models will hopefully be developed through the rest of the range, bringing them into line with what the buying public expect from their motoring today.
The modern Peugeot: executive styling in the making
Catering for city driving, Peugeot has smaller models available that include the 108 city car and the 208 supermini, next up is the 308 hatchback, and then the majority of the models in today’s line-up is their range of SUVs.
However, the 508 saloon, featuring fastback type styling, has grown into an attractive low-slung 5-door coupé. More cars like this could enhance Peugeot’s positioning away from the mid-stream and into executive status.
The historic and iconic Peugeot 205 GTI
It was in the 1980s when the 205 was introduced and seemed responsible for turning around the success of the company. The supermini model was applauded for its style and handling, which led to sales topping 50k units a year.
In 1984 the GTI was launched with a 1.6-litre engine; soon followed by a 1.9-litre model. The high-performance hatchback set standards in thrill-seeking for younger drivers everywhere.
Could the new range of SUVs be responsible for another similarly styled comeback for the French giant?
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
If your brakes lights are dimmer than usual
Slow responding bulbs
