Buy 3rd Brake Light – 3G9 945 087 E in the UK – Genuine Volkswagen Parts in Stock
The 3rd Brake Light – OEM 3G9 945 087 E is a precision-engineered high-level stop lamp designed to deliver maximum braking visibility and road safety performance across a wide range of Volkswagen vehicles. Supplied through Volkswagen Parts UK, this OEM-spec component ensures factory-grade illumination, seamless electrical integration, and long-term reliability.
This third brake light plays a critical role in modern vehicle safety systems by providing an elevated braking signal that improves reaction time for following drivers. Positioned at eye level, it enhances visibility in traffic, adverse weather conditions, and night driving scenarios.
Product Overview
The 3G9 945 087 E 3rd Brake Light is a high-mounted stop lamp (HMSL) designed to activate simultaneously with your vehicle’s main brake lights.
- Product Type: Rear safety lighting component
- OEM Classification: Genuine / OEM Volkswagen specification
- Function: High-level brake illumination system
- OEM Part Number: 3G9 945 087 E
This component ensures that braking signals are clearly communicated to surrounding traffic, reducing the risk of rear-end collisions and improving overall road safety compliance.
Unlike aftermarket alternatives, OEM Volkswagen lighting components are engineered to match exact electrical resistance, brightness levels, and CAN-bus communication standards.
How It Works
The third brake light operates as part of the vehicle’s brake signal circuit.
When the brake pedal is pressed:
- The brake light switch activates the rear lighting system
- Electrical current is distributed across all brake lamps
- The high-mounted stop lamp illuminates instantly
Because it is positioned higher than standard tail lights, it provides:
- Faster visual recognition for following drivers
- Improved braking awareness in dense traffic
- Enhanced safety in poor visibility conditions
Common failure symptoms include:
- No illumination when braking
- Flickering or intermittent operation
- Water ingress causing electrical failure
- Dashboard brake light warning indicator
