Indirect illumination taillamp assembly for a vehicle

A taillamp assembly for a vehicle comprising:

• a housing having a first reflector and a second reflector, the first and second reflectors configured to emit light in a generally common direction;
• a lens mounted to the housing in an opposing relationship to the first and second reflectors, the lens has first and second optic regions in optical register with the first and second reflectors;
• and
• a lamp carrier mounted to one of the housing and the lens and between the housing and the lens, the lamp carrier having first and second sets of interconnected light-emitting semiconductor devices, wherein the first set of light-emitting semiconductor devices is directed at the first reflector and the second set of light-emitting semiconductor devices is directed at the second reflector, and wherein the first and second sets of interconnected light-emitting semiconductor devices are electrically independent from one another;
• whereby the first and second sets of light-emitting semiconductor devices can be independently actuated to emit light toward the corresponding first and second reflectors and, in turn, outwardly through the lens.
