The method for replacing the brake light on the Changan CS35 is as follows: 1. Remove the protective panel: The brake light switch is located above the brake pedal, with a spring contact pressing against the brake pedal linkage. 2. Disconnect the wiring: After removing the protective panel, the brake light switch can be seen above the brake pedal. 3. Remove the switch: This switch is of a rotating latch type and cannot be pulled out by force. 4. Install the switch: Insert the head of the switch into the latch hole. 5. Reinstall the protective panel. The Changan CS35 brake light is installed at the rear of the vehicle and is primarily red in color to enhance the penetration of the light source. This ensures that vehicles behind can easily detect when the front vehicle brakes, even in low visibility conditions, thereby helping to prevent rear-end collisions.
Last time my brake light went out, it was at night when a friend pointed it out to me while driving—what a scare! I took action immediately: opened the trunk of my Changan CS35, noticed a small latch on the left rear light cover panel, and gently pried it open with my hand to reveal the bulb socket inside. The old bulb was a dual-filament type, which I removed by twisting counterclockwise. The new bulb, a matching 1156 model bought online, was inserted and twisted clockwise to secure. For testing, I had someone step on the brake to check if it lit up. Reattaching the cover panel was as simple as snapping it back into place. The whole process took me about fifteen minutes to do myself. The key point is to wear gloves to avoid burns or scratches—the bulb was cheap, just over ten yuan. From now on, I’ll prioritize trying to fix brake light issues myself to save money and gain experience. Regularly checking your lights prevents nighttime road hazards, ensuring safety for yourself and others. The Changan CS35’s design is quite DIY-friendly—don’t be lazy and miss out on this skill.
