Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch P/N:SLS-388
Keep your brake lights firing the moment you hit the pedal with the Standard Ignition Brake Light Switch (Stoplight Switch), MPN SLS-186. It installs as a direct-fit replacement across a wide range of Subaru applications, including the 1990-2014 Legacy, 1999-2016 Forester, 1999-2014 Impreza, 2000-2014 Outback, 1992-1997 SVX and 2003-2006 Baja — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full vehicle list. The switch senses brake-pedal movement and completes the circuit that illuminates the stop lamps; if a worn or failed switch is the cause of brake lights that stay off, flicker, or stick on, this replaces it.
Backed by Standard Ignition's original-equipment ignition manufacturing and quality control from componentry to finished product.
