The ornamental design for a vehicle taillight, as shown and described.

FIG. 1 is a rear elevational view of a left vehicle taillight (as viewed from the rear of the vehicle). Only the left vehicle taillight is illustrated (the right vehicle taillight is a mirror of the left and is not illustrated but nonetheless covered by this patent);

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle taillight;

FIG. 3 is a rear elevational view of the left vehicle taillight with the lens removed to illustrate the reflector housing. The reflector housing has two reflective surfaces. Bulbs (not illustrated) are positioned in each reflective surface. The reflector housing becomes visible when either or both bulbs are illuminated. The top and bottom portions of the vehicle taillight are not illuminated;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevation view of the vehicle taillight with the lens removed to illustrate the reflector housing. The reflector housing has two reflective surfaces. The reflector housing becomes visible when either or both bulbs are illuminated. The left side is not illuminated;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevation view of the vehicle taillight illustrating the left (rear most) lens and the Class B surface;

FIG. 6 is a top down plan view of the vehicle taillight;

FIG. 7 is bottom up plan view of the vehicle taillight; and,

FIG. 8 is an elevational view of the vehicle taillight (as viewed from the front of the vehicle), illustrating the Class B surface. This view is not claimed and is used for secondary filing.

The vehicle taillight is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color unless otherwise noted. Areas shown in or sounded by broken lines are not claimed. The surface normally visible when the vehicle taillight is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class A” surface is claimed. The surface not normally visible when the vehicle taillight is attached to a vehicle is called the “Class B” surface and is not claimed. Any functional features of the vehicle taillight are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part. The vehicle taillight is intended to be observed in various states of illumination as well as daylight with no illumination.
