Mini or micro LED-based light module configured to perform plural light functions seamlessly with different light guides in unitary assembly

A tail light assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

• a multi-function light module including a first plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) chosen from mini-LEDs, micro-LEDs and LED-dies and including a first group of the plurality of LEDs mounted on a substrate, and a second group of the plurality of LEDs mounted on the substrate;
• and
• a printed circuit board (PCB) with a second plurality of LEDs and configured to provide a tail light function,
• wherein the multi-function light module further includes an optics assembly with a first optic component configured for the tail light function and second optic component configured for a second function that is different from the tail light function, the optics assembly being disposed relative to the first plurality of LEDs to guide light output from respective LEDs of the first group of the first plurality of LEDs via the first optic component and to guide light output from respective LEDs of the second group of the first plurality of LEDs via the second optic component, and
• wherein the tail light assembly presents a uniform appearance across the multi-function light module and the PCB with each of the first group of the first plurality of LEDs and the second plurality of LEDs each being illuminated for the tail light function.
