The brake caliper (16) clamps the brake pad (18) against the brake rotor (12) to slow the vehicle. The clamping causes heating of the brake rotor (12) and a hydrocarbon release. The mechanism also includes a glowing member (38) connected to an outboard face 26 of the brake rotor 12 such that heating causes glowing of the glowing member 38. The glowing member 38 provides a visually pleasing aesthetic appearance from the brake rotor 12 visibly to bystander.",
