Abstract
Reflective and refractive apparatuses are provided for reflecting or refracting light from the vehicle rear tail light so that it may readily be viewed by bystanders and through the use of the rear view mirror of the vehicle. The refractive apparatus includes a translucent body having an opening communicating with a cavity therein and adhesive on a rim portion surrounding the opening. The translucent member is attached to the vehicle tail light with the adhesive and light travels through the opening and cavity and out through the translucent member. The reflective apparatus includes a ferroalloy bracket and a mirror pivotally attached thereto through the use of a plate. The bracket is selectively detachably attached to a ferroalloy portion of the vehicle with a magnet.
