What is the difference between brake lights and tail lights at night?

[Robinson]

The differences between brake lights and tail lights at night are as follows: 1. Brake lights are high-intensity and more alerting than position lights, with some LED brake lights even being dazzling. In contrast, regular position lights appear softer and are not glaring. 2. Brake lights are generally installed at the rear of the vehicle, with the main color being red, making it easier for following vehicles to notice when the front vehicle is braking, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions. In simple vehicle models, power passes through a fuse to the brake switch. When the brake pedal is pressed, the switch connects, sending electricity to the two brake lights and a high-mounted brake light, completing the circuit through the negative line connected to the vehicle body. 3. Tail lights are mounted at the rear of the vehicle, typically with the main color being red. They mainly include red lights to warn following vehicles and amber lights for indicating direction, as well as reverse lights that aid in visibility. Based on their form, tail lights can be categorized into independent, combined, and composite types.
