Driven.Media 15-21 WRX/STI F1 Style 4th Brake Light

The 2015–2021 WRX and STI get a blank plastic cover in the rear bumper where other markets received a functional rear fog light from the factory. The Driven.Media F1 Style 4th Brake Light replaces that out-of-place panel with a clean, motorsport-inspired lighting upgrade that looks like it should have come that way from day one.

Not only does it add a bright rear light that illuminates with your headlights, but it also features an F1-style flashing brake function to grab the attention of drivers behind you when you slow down or come to a stop.

F1 Style Braking Function

With the Driven.Media F1 Style 4th Brake Light, you get more than just a visual upgrade. The light illuminates with your headlights for added rear visibility, and when you hit the brakes, it flashes briefly before remaining lit to help alert distracted drivers behind you. It is a simple upgrade that adds both style and another layer of visibility on the road.

Key Features

  • Replaces the Factory Blank Panel: Fills the unused rear bumper fog light location with a functional, OEM-inspired light.
  • F1-Style Flashing Brake Function: Flashes under braking to help catch attention, then remains illuminated.
  • Additional Rear Visibility: Illuminates with your headlights for a more complete rear lighting setup.
  • Motorsport-Inspired Styling: Adds an aggressive, purposeful rear-end look.
  • Functional Safety Upgrade: Helps make your braking more noticeable to drivers behind you.

Why We Like It

This is one of the best visual-and-functional upgrades you can make to the rear of a VA WRX or STI. It cleans up the look of the bumper, adds the feature other markets got from the factory, and gives you more visibility in traffic without looking aftermarket in a bad way.
