taillights

Brake glow indicators

Taillights are the red lights at the rear of a vehicle, visible when the headlights are on or the brakes are applied.

They signal a vehicle's presence and intentions to drivers behind.

Figuratively, to see someone's taillights is to watch them leave or depart quickly.
