Abstract
The invention relates to a rearview mirror assembly of an automotive vehicle with a flashing device comprising a first opening for the rearview mirror and a second opening in which an outer module is coupled inwardly defining an elongated passage delimited between two walls, an inner wall and an outer wall or cover. It further comprises a double-sided printed-circuit board transverse to the passage, including two light emitters in a first one of its sides and another light emitter in the other side and dividing the elongated passage into two areas. The emitters of the first side projects light along a first of the two areas, this light directly exiting by an end area with desired horizontal and vertical angles, and the other emitter does so along a second one of the two areas, the light exiting through the cover.
