ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to an automotive light signal which comprise a housing with at least one electric bulb inside. According to the invention, a portion of light emission from the signal is diverted in such a way that the driver can see the same light that is directed outside the vehicle. Thus, a failure-proof end-to-end check of the operability of the signal is accomplished by the driver without resorting to help of another person. The invention is especially important for brake and backing signals, which currently require the driver to request outside help to perform end-to-end checking.
