The lighting portion includes a central lighting portion and a peripheral lighting portion, surrounding the central lighting portion, the light guide being provided with extraction elements arranged on the light input and diffusion wall. A hologram is arranged between the LED light source and the light input portion so as to distribute according to a predefined pattern the light rays emitted by the LED light source and obtain a predefined luminance on the central lighting portion and the peripheral lighting portion.

The invention relates to a lighting arrangement, in particular a lighting arrangement which may be used in a headlamp of a vehicle. A beam shaping arrangement comprises a light input portion for receiving light emitted from a light source and a light output portion for emitting a shaped beam. The light output portion is spaced from the light input portion in a forward direction. In order to achieve a desired illumination beam pattern suited for a vehicle headlamp the beam shaping arrangement is disposed to divide light from the light input portion into at least a first and a second beam portion separated in height direction. The first and second beam portions are led to converge in the height direction towards the light output portion. At the light output portion, the second beam portion is directed at a peripheral portion arranged laterally further outward relative to the first beam portion.

The fog lamp apparatus further comprises an outer lens, and at least one slanted mask that comprises at least one clip and one hook. The outer lens is attached to the mask by the clip, and the hook deposits in the inset of the housing. The fog lamp further comprises at least one inner lens that comprises at least one hollow cylindrical leg and at least one hook, and the hollow cylindrical leg is threaded to receive a crew. The fog lamp further comprises at least one LED board that comprises a light source; at least one heat sink that comprises a pair of symmetrical cylindrical arms, and ridges and grooves that are counterparts of the ridges and grooves of the housing. The heat sink further comprises a socket on its outer back wall. The LED board and inner lens are attached to the heat sink. The cylindrical arms deposit in the pair of sockets of the housing. The screw of the inner lens fastens the inner lens to the heat sink. The fog lamp further comprises at least one PCB, at least one adjuster bolt assembly that comprises an adjuster bolt, an O-ring gasket, and a nut. The nut further comprises a protruding knob disposed on its outer wall. The protruding knob comprises a short cylindrical body and a larger ball head that engages the socket of the heat sink. The adjuster bolt is inserted through the access hole of the housing, and the adjuster bolt's head is accessible from outside the housing.

A vehicle lamp is provided with an upper light source and a lower light source spaced apart from the upper light source in a height direction. A reflector has a central optical axis extending a forward direction and oriented between the upper and lower light source. The reflector has first and second arrays of reflective surfaces. The first array of first reflective surfaces reflects light emitted from the upper light source in a first light pattern in the direction of the central optical axis. The second array of second reflective surfaces reflecting light emitted from the lower light source in a second light pattern in the direction of the central optical axis. At least one of the first reflective surfaces is oriented between two second reflective surfaces in the height direction.
