Does your center brake lights have these gaps?

We just picked this up yesterday.

Thanks.

Nope…solid across entire width. Looks like a trip back to the dealer...

I'll have to check mine but that doesn't look normal especially for an Mercedes Benz.

Mine are also like in the photo. Are you sure SSBGLA45 that the entire width must light up?

My brand new 2016 GLA 250 lights up in one solid band with no gaps.

Safety

Here in the adaptve brake lights session the break lights are shown as in my car...

Solid across>>>

 

[fatalus]

Oh my bad, did not see that the op meant the "center" brake light. You are right, it should be solid across!

What I wish is that the tailights filled the whole lower part when braking (hope OP doesn't mind me re-using his pic)

This part not being filled with light looks off.

Would look way better if it lit up like this when breaking.

Is it possible to make it fully light up?

Is it possible to make it fully light up?

Not easily… the area in question is a reflector area (DOT requires so much (%) of the total area of the rear brake/turn signal assembly be reflective) so to have it light up would require rebuilding the rear brake housing including bringing in wiring etc.
