BMW 335i Brake Light Switch

The BMW 335i Brake Light Switch is the key that illuminates the rear brake lamps as soon as the pedal is depressed, alerting traffic that a BMW 335i is decelerating or halting. This small electrical unit is mounted below the dashboard and is connected to the arm of the brake pedal so that when the pedal is moved, the circuit is complete and power flows immediately to the bulbs. The Brake Light Switch has been in the same simple push-style design throughout the production run of the BMW 335i, with the operation of the device based on the spring-loaded plunger, which extends when the pedal is at rest and retracts to complete the circuit during braking. Although the wiring connectors and mounting brackets have been improved with every BMW model year to install more easily and enable stronger engagement, the fundamental functionality of the Brake Light Switch did not change. Thus, drivers have a consistent feel of the pedal and can easily activate the light in all of the 335i variants. The Brake Light Switch is made of durable materials and therefore does not break easily, but a faulty Brake Light Switch will make the rear lamps dark, and this will affect safety.
