Abstract: A brake light system for a vehicle includes features of a conventional vehicle brake lighting system connected to a delay timing means. The brake light system includes rear brake lights connected in a conventional manner with a car battery and a brake pedal switch. The brake light system provides a delay feature whereupon the brake lights continue to be illuminated for a predetermined time period after ceasing depression, or release of the brake pedal, thus moving the brake pedal switch to an opened condition. The brake delay timer member is configured to conveniently adapt conventional vehicle brake light systems by insertion into the vehicle fuse box after removal of the brake light fuse.
