The present invention relates to a novel self-check brake light apparatus for a vehicle. The apparatus includes a telescoping handle having two telescoping members for extending or retracting a length of the apparatus. The telescoping handles have pins that are used for releasably locking the members using a pin. A C-shaped hook is positioned at one end and is configured to attach to a brake pedal of the vehicle for depressing the brake pedal while a cushion member at the opposite end is configured to rest against a frontside of the driver's seat base to keep the apparatus in place, such that the brake pedal is depressed and the brake lights are actuated. The operator can then move to the rear of the vehicle to check the operation of the brake lights independently without requiring assistance from another.
