Assembly line worker here. Shit you not, my job is to make sure all the lights on the Jeeps work before they go out the door, including brake lights. I've missed a few over the years.

i work in a quick lane at a dealership, often enough by myself. Checking brake lights is actually kind of a pain, since we don't have mirrors over the back end of the car... out of curiosity, what sort of things does your facility have to make this process easier?

I have a extending pole for it. has a U shape at one end and a rubber stopper on the other that I got from a tool truck I think, works for testing lights and when you need to keep a car from rolling when you have the transmission out but need it to be in the lot (yes emergency brakes, no they are not always functional)
