Abstract

An auxiliary auto signlight system providing an auxiliary turn signal light, brake signal light, taillight, SOS emergency signal light includes a strobe module mounted on an upper portion of an interior of rear windshield, at least nine strobes are mounted thereon, and a signal device and a supplementary emergency are separately mounted on the side mirror housing for further signal indication. The auxiliary auto signlight system is equipped with an existing vehicle without any alteration of the vehicle that will highly increase the liability of driving.

Claims

1. An auxiliary auto signlight system, comprising:

a strobe module mounted on an upper portion of an interior of rear windshield of a vehicle;

a plurality of strobes each having a replaceably lighting element base serially mounted on said strobe module;

a plurality of lighting elements replaceably mounted on said lighting element bases inside said strobes respectively;

a pair of supplementary lights each having a “

SOS”

logo are mounted on upper and front portions of two side mirror housings of said vehicle respectively;

a connecting means for electrically connecting said strobe of said strobe module and a power outlet of a vehicle for conducting electricity; and

a switch for turning off both said emergency light and said supplementary emergency lights is installed under a hood of said vehicle.

2. An auxiliary auto signlight system, comprising:

a strobe module mounted on an upper portion of an interior of rear windshield of a vehicle;

a plurality of strobes each having a replaceably lighting element base serially mounted on said strobe module;

a plurality of lighting elements replaceably mounted on said lighting element bases inside said strobes respectively;

a pair of supplementary lights each having a “

SOS”

logo are mounted on upper and front portions of two side mirror housings of said vehicle respectively;

a pair of signal devices mounted inside said two side mirror housings respectively, wherein each of said signal device comprises at least a lighting element detachably mounted thereon and a transparent cap having a ring shape mounted at a back of said respective side mirror housing to provide a peripheral light passage to encircle said respective side mirror housing, wherein a flashing and brightened lighting element light emitted from said lighting element of said respective signal device passes around said respective side mirror and through said respective transparent cap to outside;

a connecting means for electrically connecting said strobe of said strobe module and said lighting elements of said signal devices and a power outlet of a vehicle for conducting electricity; and

a switch for turning off both said emergency light and said supplementary emergency lights is installed under a hood of said vehicle.

3. An auxiliary auto signlight system, comprising:

a strobe module mounted on an upper portion of an interior of rear windshield of a vehicle;

a plurality of strobes each having a replaceably lighting element base serially mounted on said strobe module;

a plurality of lighting elements replaceably mounted on said lighting element bases inside said strobes respectively, wherein said plurality of strobes mounted on said strobe module include a pair of taillights arranging from two outermost ends of said strobe module, a pair of bake signal lights arranging at two interior ends of said strobe module next to said taillights, a pair of back-up signal lights arranging at two interior ends of said strobe module next to said brake signal lights respectively, and a center strobe having a “

SOS”

logo printed thereon representing an emergency light;

a connecting means for electrically connecting said strobe of said strobe module and a power outlet of a vehicle for conducting electricity; and

a plurality of switches for turning on said emergency light, which are installed at designated places inside said vehicle for easy reaching, wherein one of said switches is installed under a hood of said vehicle.

4. An auxiliary auto signlight system, comprising:

a strobe module mounted on an upper portion of an interior of rear windshield of a vehicle;

a plurality of strobes each having a replaceably lighting element base serially mounted on said strobe module;

a plurality of lighting elements replaceably mounted on said lighting element bases inside said strobes respectively;

a pair of signal devices mounted inside said two side mirror housings respectively, wherein each of said signal device comprises at least a lighting element detachably mounted thereon and a transparent cap having a ring shape mounted at a back of said respective side mirror housing to provide a peripheral light passage to encircle said respective side mirror housing, wherein a flashing and brightened lighting element light emitted from said lighting element of said respective signal device passes around said respective side mirror and through said respective transparent cap to outside; and

a connecting means for electrically connecting said strobe of said strobe module and said lighting elements of said signal devices and a power outlet of a vehicle for conducting electricity.
