There are disclosed video systems and methods that use a camera in a lamp housing for a tractor-trailer. Within the housing is an electrical subsystem with a PLC interface and an electrical connector disposed outside the housing and adapted to connect to the trailer and draw power therefrom. A lamp mounted in the housing is connected and adapted to draw power through the electrical subsystem and emit light through a cover of the housing. The camera mounted in the housing has a field of view through the cover. The camera is connected and adapted to draw power through the electrical subsystem and to capture images through the cover and is further connected to the PLC interface. The PLC interface converts data from the camera and transmits the converted data through the electrical connector to the trailer.

A lighting module including a housing with a cavity enclosed with a light-emitting surface and in which an LED is mounted connectable to a power source and possibly also to a control circuit. Between the LED and the light-emitting surface is arranged a transparent optical filter having an upper surface and a lower surface. The upper surface is adapted for the passage of a minor portion of light from the cavity of the housing to the light-emitting surface and, at the same time, the upper surface is adapted to reflect most of the light from the cavity of the housing back to the lower surface. On the lower surface of the transparent optical filter facing the LED is arranged a spatial optical structure adapted to scatter light from the cavity of the housing onto the upper surface and at the same time is adapted to scatter light reflected from the upper surface back to the spatial optical structure opposite the bottom of the cavity of the housing and possibly also opposite the side surfaces of the cavity of the lighting module.

A light source unit of a vehicle lighting system includes: a light source to emit excitation light; a light generating unit including a luminescent layer to emit generation light by being irradiated with the excitation light and a holding member holding the luminescent layer; and a lens member to output generation light from the luminescent layer toward the front, with the light source unit mounted on the vehicle.
