Narrative:

ZZZ airport: night takeoff, wet runway 22R. Weight 400000 pounds, V1 speed 133 KIAS. Captain was PF, first officer, pilot monitoring. Advanced power for takeoff engine fail lights illuminated then extinguished passing 80 KTS. Takeoff power set, throttles steady and all engine indications normal. At 130 KTS engine fail lights illuminated again on both captain and first officer's glareshield and stayed on steady. Takeoff rejected! As precautionary for ZZZ fire trucks to check us for hot brakes. Uneventful return to company gate. Complied with all applicable checklists and entered discrepancy in log for maintenance. Excellent job by crew. Good CRM and crew coordination.
