Brake light repair cost



Brake lights are very important in ensuring road safety since they signal anyone driving behind you to know when you’re slowing down and when you’ve stopped. There are also third brake lights in addition to the two standard ones found at the back of the vehicle which add extra security since they are brighter than the normal lights; this makes them easily visible. In cars, the third brake lights are located on top of the back glass window.
There are many brands which sell the third brake lights at different prices according to the model of the car. These brands include;   Dorman, Genuine, ULO, AC Delco, standard Motor Products and Action crash. Dorman brand sells 02 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer Third Brake light for $106. 25 which includes free ground shipping. ULO sells 03 2003 Mercedes C230 third brake light for $117.25 which also includes free ground shipping. These prices are lower than those quoted by the local retail centers. However, the prices are different from those quoted for the standard brake lights. Mostly, the standard brake lights are sold as a unit which costs between $75 and $115 according to the model of the car.
 The cost for repairing brake lights may depend on the firm chosen to do the job since different firms charge differently to offer the service. It may also depend on the model of your car since some cars are designed in a manner that makes it difficult to replace the brake lights. It is advisable to choose a regular body shop to offer the service rather than dealers who charge higher amounts. You can also do the job on your own following the guidelines in the service manual provided on the brand’s website. In order to know the best price of your car’s brake lights, you need to access the internet and compare the offers made by different brands. The online stores offer many cheap deals for customers to choose from. You should also seek guidance from experts in order to avoid incurring unnecessary expenses through exploitation by the local dealers.
In order to avoid further expenses, you can change the brake lights at your home and save the amount you would have paid to a mechanic for the service. Your car owner’s manual outlines the steps you have to follow during replacement of the brakes lights. After repairing, you should test the lighting system to make sure that it is working well.[1]
