Abstract
A rear light module for a motor vehicle includes a housing, which has a connecting side facing toward the interior of the motor vehicle and an emission side facing toward the exterior of the motor vehicle. The housing includes multiple mountings at the connecting side, which are designed for implementing and mechanically supporting lamps mounted on sockets. The lamps with their sockets are arranged, respectively, in one of the mountings for forming a connection from the connecting side and extending into the housing. Besides the mountings for the lamps, at least one further mounting is designed, in which is selectively insertable a removable proximity sensor mounted on a socket, so that the proximity sensor can be connected from the connecting side, extends into the housing and detects when a user approaches the emission side.
