1. A wireless taillight system comprising:

  • (A) a transmitting module adapted to be disposed in operative association with the taillight energizing circuitry of a vehicle, said module including;

    input means operatively connected to said taillight energizing circuitry and adapted to receive taillight energizing signals therefrom;

    a signal generator adapted to generate a first group of radio frequency control signals at a first frequency in response to the energizing signals from the right-side taillights of the vehicle and a second group of radio frequency control signals at a second frequency in response to the energizing signals from the left-side taillights of the vehicle; and

    an antenna adapted to broadcast the radio frequency control signals;

    (B) a first taillight module configured to be removably mounted on a vehicle at a location remote from the transmitting module and including;

    a radio receiver-decoder adapted to receive the first group of radio frequency control signals broadcast by the antenna and generate lamp control signals corresponding thereto; and

    signaling means including a signal lamp and a lamp controller, said controller adapted to receive the lamp control signals and energize the lamp in accordance with the energization of the right-side taillights; and

    ,(C) a second taillight module configured to be removably mounted on a vehicle at a location remote from the transmitting module and including;

    a radio receiver-decoder adapted to receive the second group of radio frequency control signals broadcast by the antenna and generate lamp control signals corresponding thereto; and

    ,signaling means including a signal lamp and a lamp controller, said controller adapted to receive the lamp control signals and energize the lamp in accordance with the energization of the left-side taillights.
