Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) Tail Lamp

This blind-spot information system (BLIS) sensor has uniquely been integrated into the rear tail-lamp assembly because the vehicle's aluminum bumper does not permit normal installation behind the plastic fascia. The radar unit is housed behind 2 layers of plastic on a 3-color, 3-shot tail-lamp lens and features a cast-aluminum serviceable door, which also acts as a heat sink.  By installing the BLIS system in the tail lamp, the lens cover also protects the module from direct impact, water, mud, or snow and the system saves $10 USD/vehicle plus a $15-million USD cost avoidance.
