In California, defective brake lights are considered a mechanical problem resulting in a "fix-it" ticket. Depending on which law enforcement office issued the infraction, take the fixed vehicle to them for inspection. Upon passing, the infraction will be on record as being corrected ("signed off"). This will be on your permanent driving record but will not be points against - in other words, a court will have access, insurance, not.

If this is a commercial vehicle (class A or B) then the vehicle is considered to be inoperable.

The issuing officer will provide all the information needed in order to avoid fines or penalties, including deadlines (usually, two weeks), whether or not one wants to listen. The information should also be on the ticket, if not, "drop a dime" to the issuing department.

The minimum cost of this infraction will be the price for repair and one's time (and, no neither one is recoverable).
