Abstract

A brake warning light is applied to a rear portion of a vehicle and includes a left brake light, a right brake light and an extended brake light assembly. A first left segment of the left brake light is aligned with a first end of the extended brake light assembly along a direction of a first extension line. A second left segment of the left brake light is aligned with a first right segment of the right brake light along a direction of a second extension line. A second right segment of the right brake light is aligned with a second end of the extended brake light assembly along a direction of a third extension line. When the vehicle is braked, the left brake light, the right brake light and the extended brake light assembly are lit and viewed as a planar warning pattern to enhance warning effect.
