A light module (100, 400, 600, 900, 1600) for a lighting device of a vehicle comprises a light source part and an outer housing (101) enclosing the light source part and having at least a first surface (103) and a second surface (104). The first surface of the outer housing comprises a first interlock shape (201, 202, 1001) and the second surface comprises a second interlock shape (201, 202, 901) arranged to be at least mechanically compatible with the first interlock shape. Two similar light modules are at least mechanically connectable to each other by connecting the first interlock shape of one of the light modules to the second interlock shape of the other light module. At least one of said first and second interlock shapes is continuous in a first direction (105, 905) and periodic in a second direction (106, 906). The first and the second direction are directions parallel to the surface on which the interlock shape is arranged.

An apparatus includes an auxiliary light includes a housing defining a front opening, a light emitting in the housing, and a transparent cover is mounted over the front opening. A plurality of fins are mounted to the housing and extend rearwardly from the front opening. The heights of the plurality of fins in the vertical direction decreases with distance from the front opening along the horizontal direction. This may include downward sloping outer fins and inner fins having bottom edges that include concave arcs extending upwardly. A mount secures to the housing and includes a base with a fastener overlapping a center of gravity of the light and arms that extend up to pivot points on the housing that are offset behind the center of gravity.

A vehicle lamp assembly includes, a lamp housing defining an interior cavity and an exterior surface, a circuit board disposed within the interior cavity, the circuit board including a memory device, microprocessor and a connector for establishing a communication link with the memory device and the microprocessor. A vent opening within the lamp housing aligned with the connector on the circuit board and a permeable membrane is attached over the vent opening. Alignment of the vent opening with the connector provides access for reflashing upon removal of the permeable membrane.

To prevent a decrease in luminance of the flashed high-beam headlights caused by ambient temperature in a vehicle headlight system using a liquid crystal element. The vehicle headlight system for selectively irradiating light in front of an own vehicle includes: a light source; a liquid crystal element for forming an image using light from the light source where the liquid crystal element is a normally closed liquid crystal element having a relatively low transmittance when no voltage is applied thereto; a driving circuit for driving the liquid crystal element; and a control part that determines whether or not the light source is in a light-off state and controls the driving circuit to set the liquid crystal element to a transmission state when the light source is in the light-off state.

A lighting tool for a vehicle configured to radiate light toward a side in front of a vehicle includes: a light radiation unit having a light source main body; a first optical system configured to condense light radiated from the light radiation unit; and a cover member disposed in front of the first optical system and configured to overlap at least a part of the first optical system when seen from the front, wherein an opening disposed on an optical axis of the first optical system is provided in the cover member.

A lamp assembly for a vehicle comprising a housing, a reflector mounted in the housing, a light source, a printed circuit board or PCB mounted on a heatsink of the lamp assembly and coupled to the light source to control operation of the light source. The PCB has a first connector for coupling to a second connector comprising a body having a plurality of resilient or elastic arms that each have a detent for locking the connector to the component and retain electrical contact with the PCB. The wall of the heatsink defines an aperture for receiving the second connector and provides a locking surface that deflects the arms towards the body while engaging and cooperating with the detents to lock the connector to the PCB. The free end of the arms extend beyond the mounting wall and are actuated to unlock the connector from the PCB.
