I got pulled over last night because one of my brake lights is out, but I was let off with a warning to get it fixed. How much will it cost for me to get it fixed?

I’m sorry you got pulled over, but you’re lucky that the officer let you off with a warning!
Getting a brake light fixed can cost anywhere from $20 to $150 on average. The price of getting brake lights fixed can vary based on a few different factors:
Car make
Car model
Parts needed
The repair shop you go to

If your brake light is out because of an accident, your
