Brake light systems for a vehicle including an array of lights attached to the vehicle, an accelerometer configured to measure a magnitude of deceleration of the vehicle and to transmit a deceleration signal communicating the magnitude of deceleration of the vehicle, and a controller in electronic communication with the array of lights and the accelerometer, the controller including computer executable instructions for activating one or more lights in the array of lights based on the deceleration signal received from the accelerometer, wherein the number of lights activated corresponds to the magnitude of deceleration of the vehicle. In some examples, the brake light system includes a brake pedal sensor configured to detect when a brake pedal of the vehicle is pressed and to transmit a pedal engaged signal communicating that the brake pedal has been pressed.
