Center Mounted Brake Lamp: Service and Repair

High-Mounted Brake Lamp

If one of the LEDs in the high-mounted brake lamp (M25) is faulty:

• The individual LEDs in the high-mounted brake lamp are in groups of 4 and supply electricity as a group.

• The high-mounted brake lamp is designed in such a way that it still meets legal requirements when one LED group fails..

• If another LED group fails, these legal requirements are no longer met.

• When one LED group fails, the intact LEDs are given a higher load, by which failure of other LED groups can be assumed in the near future.

• Replace the high-mounted brake lamp if more than 4 separate LEDs have burned out.

• Turn off the ignition and all electrical consumers.

• Remove the key.
