Center Mounted Brake Lamp: Description and Operation






High Mounted Brake Lamp (M25)

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

The individual LEDs in the high-mounted brake lamp are in groups of four and supplied 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 four separate LEDs have burned out in the high-mounted brake lamp.
