Product Overview
When the two main tail lamps work but the center brake light stays dark, the high-mount lamp itself can be the problem rather than the brake switch. A failed third brake light also makes the car less visible to drivers farther back in traffic.
This lamp is a complete replacement for the center stop-light position. Before replacing it, confirm the brake circuit has power and that the connector is not damaged so a wiring problem is not mistaken for a bad lamp.

Frequently Asked Questions
