Abstract

Abstract The object of the present invention is an auxiliary safety rear light assembly for vehicles which can be adhesively mounted at any position on the rear window of a car or truck. Another object of the present invention is an auxiliary safety rear light assembly which can be adjusted along a horizontal axis so as to be mountable parallel to the road regardless of the angle which the vehicle rear window makes to the road. Still another object of the present invention is an auxiliary safety rear light assembly for vehicles comprising a lightable area which will illuminate in response to and signal vehicle actions, pivot means on either end of the lightable area to pivot the lightable area on its horizontal axis, a mounting bracket having two dependent sides and a foot perpendicular to each of such sides, each side having means to accept a lightable area pivot means and locking means to lock the pivot means and hold the lightable area in a desired position relative to such sides, and each foot having adhesive means on a surface thereof to fixedly attach the auxiliary safety rear light assembly to the vehicle.
