In this guide, I will show how to repair a faulty center brake light bulb on a 2006 Toyota Matrix. Replacing a fused or burnt light bulb in your brake light is an easy to follow and harmless procedure. If you notice your center brake light isn't turning on, I hope this guide will serve good use to you.
It is very important to have all functioning brake lights when driving as driving with a non-working brake light can be very dangerous at nighttime or during low visibility weather conditions. It is also required by the law to have all brake lights working when driving on the road.
Before you begin the repair, make sure your car is off and in park. Also, when replacing the bulb, avoid touching the bulb glass with your hands. The salt and oils from your skin can cause the glass to break down and your light may burn out more quickly.
