Third Brake Light Cutout

Third brake light cutout is the precise gap left in rear windscreen tint to keep the centrally-mounted high-level brake light fully visible and unobscured.

Many cars have a high-mount brake light embedded in the rear windscreen or just above it. The film must not cover the brake light or even significantly reduce its brightness, both for road-legal reasons and visibility.

Infratint custom-cuts each film by hand to fit the exact glass, leaving a clean cutout around the brake light. We typically keep an extra few millimetres clear around the lamp to avoid even partial obstruction.

Infratint inspects the brake-light cutout post-installation as part of standard QC.
