A vehicle winglet (e.g., sideview mirror, camera or radar assembly, etc.) is provided with sequential illumination of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A light guide is connected to and covers the LEDs. The light guide is made of a translucent material and is configured to guide light illuminated by the LEDs and transfer the light out of the light guide. The light guide includes a plurality of light guide towers extending therefrom. Each light guide tower is aligned with a respective one of the LEDs. In some embodiments, a plurality of collimators are provided, with each collimator aligned with a respective one of the LEDs and with a respective one of the light guide towers to redirect the light illuminated from the respective LED into the respective light guide tower.

A vehicle lighting system is provided primarily for use with emergency response vehicles. The vehicle lighting system includes at least one luminescent planar sheet affixed to a vehicle's mounting surface. The luminescent planar sheet includes a non-luminescent printed circuit board in the shape of a letter or number which has a top surface of a color which contrasts with the mounting surface's color. The luminescent planar sheet includes a plurality of light emitting LEDs which are surface mounted upon the printed circuit board so as to be arranged in the shape of the desired letter or number with the LEDs covering no more than 20% of the printed circuit board's top surface. Preferably, the LEDs cover no more than 7% the printed circuit board's top surface.

A vehicle light comprising a container body and a lenticular body joined at least partially to close the container body, wherein the container body delimits a containment seat housing at least one light source that faces at least one light guide having a light guide body shaped to receive the light beam from a light input wall, and to transmit it to a light output wall and from this to a main light emission portion of the lenticular body. At least first extractor elements are placed between the light input wall and the light output wall, which extract a first extracted portion of the light beam emitted by the light source and direct it onto first reflecting elements separate from the light guide. The first reflecting elements reflect the first extracted portion towards the lenticular body at a first auxiliary light emission portion, separate from said main emission portion.
