The invention relates to a method for controlling a light emission of a rear lamp (2) of a vehicle (7). The rear lamp (2) comprises optical components (5, 8) having emission surfaces (6, 9, 16) having at least three partial emission surfaces (6.1, 9.1, 16.1, 6.2, 9.2, 16.2, 6.3, 9.3, 16.3). Furthermore, at least a first and a second light function can be produced by means of the light emission of the emission surfaces (6, 9, 16). The method is characterized in that, after a switchover process from the first to the second light function, the first partial emission surface (6.1, 9.1, 16.1), which emits light for the first light function, emits no light, the second partial emission surface (6.2, 9.2, 16.2), which emits light for the first light function, continues to emit light, and the third partial emission surface (6.3, 9.3, 16.3), which emits no light for the first light function, emits light. The invention further relates to a device (1) for controlling the light emission of a rear lamp (2) of a vehicle (7).
