ABSTRACT:
A tail light assembly for an automotive vehicle has a housing provided with a back panel and a translucent cover secured to and cooperating with the back panel in defining a tail light chamber. A row of light bulbs is mounted in the chamber in spaced apart relation. A reflector is secured to the back panel behind the light bulbs. The reflector is of the Fresnel-type having annular reflector segments encircling each bulb and shaped to reflect the rays of light from the bulbs along substantially parallel paths. The reflector is in the form of a substantially flat plate having an edge along the row of light bulbs which is substantially straight or only slightly curved and visually perceptible through the translucent cover when the light bulbs are illuminated. Electrical circuitry for the light bulbs is disposed within the housing sandwiched between the back panel of the housing and the reflector plate. Preferably, the circuitry is disposed in a recess in the back panel.
