DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A reflective rear light for a truck in the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 2-6, includes a bottom base 1, a light base 2, a circuit board 3, a reflective plate unit 4, a light lens unit 5 as main components.

The bottom base 1 is provided with plural threaded posts 10 vertically at four corners, and plural openings 11 formed in sidewalls.

The light base 2 is placed in the bottom base 1, provided with plural threaded posts 20 vertically at four corners, and position pins 21 spaced apart and extending on a bottom.

The circuit board 3 is installed in the light base 2, provided with a main light section 30, a license-plate light section 31, and a sidelight section 32, plural LED lights 33 respectively set in those sections 30, 31, and 32. Then the license-plate light section 31 and the sidelight section 32 respectively face the openings 11. Further, the circuit board 3 is provided with plural holes 34 and plural position holes 35 aligned to the position pins 21 of the light base 2.

The reflective plate unit 4 is screwed with the light base 2, having a main reflective plate 40, a license-plate reflective plate 41 and a sidelight reflective plate 42. The main reflective plate 40 is located on the circuit board 3, provided with plural recessed holes 400 facing the main light section 30, and each recessed hole 400 is provided with a reflecting surface 401 on its inner wall. The license-plate reflecting plate 41 is fixed at one side of the main reflecting plate 40, facing the license-plate light section 31 and screwed with the light base, having an outer convex reflective surface 42. The side reflective plate 42 is connected to the rear side of the main reflective plate 40, facing the sidelight section 32 of the circuit board 3, having convex outer reflective surfaces 421. The main reflective plate 40 and the license-plate reflective plate 41 are provided with threaded holes 402 and 412 threadably combined with the threaded posts 20 with screws (N).
