Abstract
Rear tail light and turn signal assemblies are disclosed. The rear tail lights and turn signal assemblies are configured to work with existing housing and wiring and provide greater visibility, thereby improving safety. A tail light assembly comprises a housing defining an inner surface of the tail light assembly affixable to a body of a motor vehicle by a fastener, a light source positionable within an interior of the housing, a flexible light panel positionable over at least a portion of the light source, and one or more lenses positionable over the flexible light panel.
