ABSTRACT:
A vehicle brake light device and system for use with a vehicle having a brake light assembly including a lens and a source of illumination directed toward the lens. The device comprises a background lens having a reverse side facing the source of illumination. The background lens transmits light emitted from the source of illumination towards an observer and includes at least one template of a predetermined shape. At least one indicia is included that has an obverse side also facing the observer and a reverse side facing the source of illumination. The indicia is also capable of transmitting light toward the observer. The indicia each have a predetermined shape corresponding to a template wherein the indicia are mounted within a corresponding template. The indicia are intended to convey a message to the observer when the device is in an active state. A seal is preferably mounted between the indicia and its corresponding template to provide a water tight seal therebetween. In the preferred embodiment, the indicia are mounted within cavities formed by the templates in the reverse side of the lens.
