The invention provides an automotive lighting device with a circuit support, an optics support, a holder support and a microlenses support. The optics support includes optical elements, each one being arranged in front of one of the solid-state light sources of the printed circuit board. The optics support further includes positioning protrusions configured to fit the positioning housings of the circuit support. The holder support includes a plurality of opaque walls, a first coupler and a second coupler. Each opaque wall is located between two optical elements. The microlenses support includes a plurality of groups of microlenses, each group having a plurality of microlenses arranged to receive the light projected by one optical elements. The first coupler is configured to couple the holder support to the circuit support. The second coupler is intended to retain the microlenses support.

The present invention generally relates to vehicle emblems, badges, logos or design elements and in particular to a vehicle design element including a light assembly that can provide a uniform light output without the light source being viewable.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror casing, a mirror reflective element and a ground illumination module having a freeform optic, a ground illumination light source, and first, second and third icon light sources. With the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly mounted at the side of the vehicle and when the ground illumination light source is electrically powered to emit light, light emitted by the ground illumination light source that passes through the freeform optic illuminates the ground region adjacent to and along the side of the vehicle with a ground illumination intensity. When each individual icon light source is electrically powered to emit light, light emitted by the respective icon light source projects a respective projected image onto an icon region that is within the ground region. The respective projected images are individually projected to provide animated images projected onto the icon region.

The invention relates to an optical guide made from transparent or translucent material extending along a main direction and including a rounded, tubular guide portion formed with a rounded, tubular dioptric interface, the tubular guide portion being suitable for guiding light along the main direction through successive reflections off the dioptric interface with a rib adjacent to the guide portion that is suitable for allowing light to exit the tubular guide portion. The rib exhibits a variable shape along the main direction so as to modify the amount of light that exits along the main direction. The invention also relates to a lighting module that includes the optical guide and a lighting device that includes the lighting module.

Disclosed is a multi-layer lens arrangement for a vehicle light. The lenses include printed ink or other deposited materials at each level of lens, and can, in some versions, create a three-dimensional effect for a graphic.

A frunk lighting system applied to a vehicle is mounted on a hood provided with an emblem on a front of the vehicle to cover or open a space of a frunk, and has an illuminating direction of light emitted by a light source changed into lighting for the emblem and lighting for the frunk by movement of a rotating mechanism connected to a motor whose rotating direction is changed by a closing signal and an opening signal of the hood, thereby easily implementing an appearance design suitable for a future motorized vehicle with a light-emitting effect for the front emblem of the vehicle, and particularly, automatically switches the lighting, which has illuminated the emblem in a state where the hood is closed, toward the frunk to illuminate a frunk space, thereby maximizing visibility and usability of the frunk.

An illumination apparatus of mobility that implements various illumination functions includes a low beam and a high beam and provides a sense of operation when respective illumination functions are switched such that the design is upgraded.

The invention relates to a method for producing a roof rack, to an extruded profile for use in a method of this nature and to a novel roof rack for a vehicle. The novel roof rack for vehicles consists of an extruded profile (1) of aluminum, wherein the rail (13) is formed by a tubular profile part of the extruded profile (1), and the end feet (11, 12) are formed from a bend section of the tubular profile part. The roof rack has different cross-sections in the longitudinal direction, which are created by machining of at least one additional profile web on the extruded profile (1). Freely selectable lateral contours (20, 20′) for a roof rack can be achieved in this way.

A vehicular ground illumination module includes first, second and third icon LEDs, and first, second and third masks associated with respective ones of the first, second and third LEDs. A ground illumination LED and a freeform optic of the module function to, when the ground illumination LED electrically powered, illuminate the ground adjacent the side of the vehicle at which the module is mounted, with a ground illumination region of the ground being illuminated at a ground illumination intensity and an icon region of the ground being illuminated at an icon illumination intensity that is less than the ground illumination intensity. When the first, second and third icon LEDs are individually electrically powered to emit light, light emitted by the LEDs passes through the respective masks to project first, second and third projected images that provide animated images at the icon region of the ground adjacent the vehicle.

The present invention provides a method of installing a hood scoop to a designated recessed area of a hood of a Jeep® Wrangler Rubicon vehicle comprising: providing the hood scoop having a protective member and a hood attachment member having a first cable access feature wherein: edge profile of the hood attachment member matches edge profile of the designated recessed area; the designated recessed area includes a hood aperture that provides access to the vehicle's electrical power and control systems; attaching the attachment member to the designated recessed area using conventional attachment means; and attaching a light fixture to the hood scoop wherein the light fixture's cables pass through the first cable access feature and the hood aperture for communication with the vehicle's electrical power and control systems. The present invention also provides the hood scoop described herein.
