Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the Vehicle Rear Taillight Lens is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the Vehicle Rear Taillight Lens is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed.
