I am continually seeing cars around here with broken 3rd brake lights, so last night on my way home I decided to count how many I could find. Over the course of my 25 mile commute home, I counted 15. Not cars without 3rd brake lights, but cars that had them but were burned out or broken for whatever reason.
That bulb is in such a confined space and gets pretty hot. I just wanted to remind people to please check yours. With the number of people that tailgate anyway, you need all the help you can get to be noticed when you have to stop, especially in a hurry.
If you look in your rearview mirror in a dark place (outside at night, or in a dark garage) you can usually see the red glow around the light to let you know it's working.
