Stock third brake not working

[Mcfguy]

When I stepped on the brakes, I can see the rear brake lights come on but not the third brake light. Can I safely conclude that it's the bulb that has blown? Thanks.

Bro, you title abit misleading leh. Why dont you bring it down to WS for a check? Most prob the wire loss or the bulb spoilt. I've seen ppl with all brake lights spoils and the car still look new, its very dangerous for the person at the back.

Yes, I just realized the title is missing the word "light". Anyway to change it? My left and right rear brake light is still working. But I understand the need for added safety measure of the 3rd brake light.

What for?

 

Nowadays got 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th led brake lights in all the colours you can imagine.

 

The 2 standard brake lights are enough imo. Though you might meet a LTA officer who might to have the same opinion as me.

its necessary to hv 3rd brakelight, mandatory even to tral to bolehland.Btw in response to your problem, I think its most probaby a failed bulb.

haha, so many lights will become more hazardous than safe. I guess the 3rd brake or high mount brake light is more for heavy traffic close distance condition when the driver behind cannot see the rear brake lights due to the close distance.
