brake light
Red warning glow
A brake light is one of the red lights at the rear of a vehicle that illuminates when the driver applies the brakes, warning following traffic of deceleration.
Most vehicles have at least two brake lights, plus a center high-mounted stop lamp.
Also called a stop light or stop lamp.
