Morphology
The meaning 'a lamp at the back of a vehicle' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'rear' (located toward the back) with 'light' (a lamp or signal). This adjective+noun composition follows regular English compounding patterns and has clear parallels in many languages, so a B1 learner who knows the constituents will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Rear light is the name for the lamp at the back of a vehicle; rear means the back and light means a lamp. So a rear light helps other drivers see your car and know its 'position', especially at night.
