A vehicular lighted exterior door handle system includes a lighted exterior door handle assembly and a light module disposed at the door handle assembly. The light module includes a circuit board having a plurality of illumination sources disposed thereat. Individual illumination sources of the plurality of illumination sources are electrically operable to emit light. When the individual illumination sources are electrically operated with the lighted exterior door handle assembly mounted at the door of the equipped vehicle, the light module emits light at least outboard away from the door of the equipped vehicle. With the lighted exterior door handle assembly mounted at the door of the equipped vehicle, the light module is operable to indicate a charge level of a battery of the equipped vehicle.

A method for manufacturing a blinker module for a rearview device of a motor vehicle includes the steps of providing at least one lighting element comprising at least one light guide and at least one light disk or lens and providing of at least one illuminant unit comprising at least one illuminant, wherein the illuminant unit is designed to couple light emitted by the illuminant into the lighting element. A blinker module, rearview device and motor vehicle, including the blinker module manufactured according to the method, are also described.

A multifunctional lamp unit includes a side turn indicator including a housing for at least one light conductor with at least one illuminant, and a projection unit. A rearview device including the multifunctional lamp unit, a method of operating the rearview device, and a vehicle including the rearview device are also described.

A method for manufacturing a blinker module for a rearview device of a motor vehicle includes the steps of providing at least one lighting element comprising at least one light guide and at least one light disk or lens and providing of at least one illuminant unit comprising at least one illuminant, wherein the illuminant unit is designed to couple light emitted by the illuminant into the lighting element.

A vehicular lamp includes a light guide body configured with a two-color molded article of a light-transmitting member and a non-translucent member, and a light source configured to introduce light to the translucent member. The light guide body has a curved portion. The translucent member has a reflective step formed on a first surface thereof, which is in contact with the non-translucent member, so as to emit the light of the light source from a second surface, which is opposite the first surface. The second surface is exposed to an outside of a vehicle body on which the vehicular lamp is mounted.

The present invention prevents deterioration in design of a turn lamp by a reflected image of lens cuts of a light-guiding lens. A turn lamp includes a light-guiding lens, a mirror surface disposed behind the light-guiding lens, and a light source that causes light to enter light-guiding lens. The light-guiding lens includes lens cuts formed so as to extend in a light-guiding direction thereof. A mirror surface includes a recess surface formed behind the lens cuts along the lens cuts. The recess surface is formed so as to have a width in a short direction thereof, the width being larger than a width in a short direction of the lens cuts.

The present invention relates to a light assembly for a vehicle comprising: a housing; a lens covering the housing; a plurality of light sources arranged in the housing; wherein the plurality of light sources comprises at least one first light source, at least one second light source and at least one third light source; and a reflector body mounted in the housing; wherein the reflector body comprises a reflector element and different zones for each of the at least one light sources; wherein light emitted by the at least one first light source is captured by the reflector element which reflects the light towards the lens, the lens directing the light generally downward towards the ground area when the light assembly is attached to the vehicle, light emitted by the at least one second light source is passed through an aperture in the reflector body without reflection of the emitted light, and light emitted from the at least one third light source is captured by the reflector body which reflects and directs the light, in particular, horizontally towards the lens, with the lens in particular directing the light generally horizontal, and a light collector is located between the reflector body and the housing; wherein the light collector captures and transmits the light emitted from at least one of the at least one light sources, a rear view device and a vehicle with at least one light assembly.

A vehicular lighted exterior rearview mirror system includes a lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly for mounting at a side of a vehicle. A light module is disposed at the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly. The light module includes at least three illumination sources linearly arranged at a circuit board. When the at least three illumination sources are individually actuated, light emitted by each individual illumination source is emitted outboard away from the side of the vehicle. When the at least three illumination sources are actuated responsive to a first input, the light module emits light in a first pattern. With the lighted exterior rearview mirror assembly mounted at the side of the vehicle, and when the at least three illumination sources are actuated responsive to a second input, the light module emits light in a second pattern that is different from the first pattern.

The present disclosure refers to a light module for an exterior mirror of a vehicle. The light module includes a housing, a lens attached to the housing and including at least a first lens section that is configured to direct light in a first direction and a second lens section that is configured to direct light in a second direction, a first light module printed circuit board (PCB) mounted within the housing, a first light emitting diode (LED) attached to the first light module PCB, at least one reflector mounted with the housing and configured to reflect light emitted from the first LED through the first lens section, a second LED attached to the first light module PCB, and a light pipe mounted within the housing and configured to receive light emitted from the second LED and emit light through the second lens section.
