The 3rd Brake Light (OEM: 1K8 945 087 D) is a critical safety and visibility component designed for Volkswagen vehicles, ensuring maximum rear-end visibility during braking. Available from Volkswagen Parts UK, this high-quality OEM-spec brake light is engineered for precise fitment, reliable illumination, and long-term durability across a wide range of Volkswagen models.

Unlike generic aftermarket lighting units, this genuine-spec Volkswagen third brake light is built to factory standards, ensuring consistent brightness, correct electrical compatibility, and seamless integration with your vehicle’s existing lighting system. It plays a vital role in road safety by providing a clear, elevated brake signal to drivers behind you, especially in heavy traffic or poor weather conditions.

Product Overview

The 3rd Brake Light 1K8 945 087 D is an OEM-style high-mounted stop lamp designed to activate simultaneously with your main brake lights.

• Product Type: Rear lighting / safety component
• Classification: Genuine / OEM-spec Volkswagen part
• Function: High-mounted brake illumination
• OEM Part Number: 1K8 945 087 D

Its primary purpose is to increase braking visibility by positioning a bright LED or halogen brake signal at eye level for following traffic. This significantly reduces rear-end collision risks and improves road safety compliance.

This component is essential for MOT compliance and safe road operation, particularly for modern Volkswagen vehicles where integrated lighting systems are closely monitored.

How It Works

The third brake light operates as an auxiliary braking signal connected to the vehicle’s brake light circuit.

When the brake pedal is pressed:

• The brake light switch activates the rear lighting circuit
• Power is sent simultaneously to all brake lamps
• The high-mounted third brake light illuminates instantly

This elevated position ensures:

• Improved visibility in traffic queues
• Faster reaction time for following drivers
• Reduced risk of rear-end collisions

Common failure symptoms include:

• No illumination when braking
• Flickering or intermittent lighting
• Warning indicators on dashboard (bulb fault)
• Moisture ingress affecting internal circuitry
