ABSTRACT:

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to a light, especially, a taillight, for motor vehicles comprising at least one light means arranged behind a light screen at the peripheral edge of the housing.
Known taillights are equipped with a light means that is positioned on the housing wall behind the light screen. The light means is usually an incandescent light bulb illuminating the light screen. Frequently, the light screen is not fully illuminated by this light means.
It is an object of the present invention to design a taillight such that the light screen is illuminated across its entire surface perfectly and in a simple manner.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
This object is solved with the inventive design such that a light source is arranged at the edge of the light. The light screen can thus be reliably illuminated across its entire surface. The light screen can also be illuminated in different colors and thereby perform different functions. If the light, respectively, its light screen is illuminated in red, the light can serve as a rear light or a brake light. The light source can be arranged at the edge of the taillight in a constructively simple manner and at low costs.
