brake lights
Rear warning glow
Brake lights are the red lights on the rear of a vehicle that illuminate when the driver applies the brakes, warning following traffic of deceleration.
Most vehicles have two brake lights plus a third mounted higher on the rear window or trunk.
His brake lights came on too late for me to stop in time.
