A vehicle lamp comprises a first light source group for forward illumination comprising at least one light emitting element, a second light source group for road surface drawing comprising at least one light emitting element provided separately from the at least one light emitting element, a first projection lens through which light emitted from the first light source group is to pass, a second projection lens through which light emitted from the second light source group is to pass, and a light shade arranged between the first and second light source groups and the first and second projection lenses so that the lights from the first and second light source groups do not intersect with each other before entering the first and second projection lenses, respectively. Light distribution control functions of the first and second projection lenses are different from each other.

A vehicle lighting apparatus includes: a light source; a reflector that reflects light emitted from the light source toward a vehicle travel direction; a light distribution control unit that controls light distribution of light reflected by the reflector; and a projection lens that projects the light of which the light distribution is controlled by the light distribution control unit toward the vehicle travel direction, wherein the light distribution control unit has a structure in which a plurality of reflection elements are provided to be aligned in a vehicle width direction, and wherein light that is incident on the projection lens from an upper direction of the plurality of reflection elements of the light reflected by the reflector forms a light distribution pattern that includes a cutoff line which is defined by an upper end of the plurality of reflection elements, and light that is incident on the plurality of reflection elements is reflected toward the projection lens to thereby form a complementary light distribution pattern that is different from the light distribution pattern.

Module for emitting at least one light beam along an optical axis for automobile vehicles. The module includes at least a first and at least a second light sources, at least a first and at least a second optical collectors designed to collect the light emitted by the at least a first and the at least a second light sources, respectively, and for redirecting the light collected in convergent directions. At least one of the at least a first and the at least a second light sources is oriented in such a manner as to emit light in an overall direction of emission moving away from the optical axis. The collector associated with the or with said oriented light sources have at least partially an asymmetrical configuration elongating the collector along the optical axis.

An apparatus for controlling a vehicle light with adjustable light output is provided, whereby the apparatus includes a processor configured to receive on-board diagnostics (OBD) data and to determine a light output mode for the vehicle light in accordance with the OBD data, whereby the OBD data indicates a vehicle condition. The apparatus includes a transceiver coupled to the processor that is configured to signal the light output mode to the vehicle light. A method of controlling a vehicle light is provided that includes receiving OBD data from an OBD system in a vehicle, whereby the OBD data determines a vehicle condition, determining a light output mode of the vehicle light in accordance with the OBD data, and sending to the vehicle light appropriate commands for adjusting the light output in accordance with the determined light output mode.

An illumination apparatus includes a housing with a faceplate, at least one light source, at least one optical assembly coupled to the faceplate, a frame supporting the at least one light source, and a yoke assembly having a camshaft and a yoke with a set of lobes, the yoke assembly coupled to the faceplate and slideably received by the frame, such that the at least one optical assembly is moveable in a linear direction towards and away from the at least one light source by rotation of the camshaft.

The present invention relates to a motor vehicle's light module for lighting or signaling device purposes and includes at least one light source mounted on a support, an optical unit that engages the light source that forms a light beam and a locating system, which includes at least one locating pin inserted into a locating orifice. The support contains at least one locating pin and the locating orifice while the optical unit has the other locating pin and locating orifice. The locating pins include two facing parts where one of the parts is identified as the rigid part, and the other of the parts is identified as the flexible part, where the one part is more rigid than the other of the two facing parts.

The present invention relates to an optical element (1), an optical module and a vehicle. The optical element (1) comprises: a light incident section (10) for receiving light directly from a light source; a light exit section (30) having a focal plane (P); and a third section (20) that directs light from the light incident section (10) toward the light exit section (30) in a predetermined manner to generate a predetermined low beam distribution or high beam distribution, where the optical element (1) is implemented integrally.

A lighting device is provided, comprising a spatially extended light source with a light-emitting surface greater than 0.5 mm.sup.2 and also an aspherical TIR lens, which is configured to collimate light from the spatially extended light source, and a refractive diffuser configured to generate a lighting distribution on the basis of the collimated light.

The invention relates to a headlamp lens for a vehicle headlamp, in particular a motor vehicle headlamp. The headlamp lens comprises a body made of a transparent material and having at least one light inlet surface and at least one optically effective light exit surface. The body comprises a light tunnel which transitions into a light-conducting element while making a bend for imaging the bend as a light-shadow line. The body further comprises an orientation structure for orienting the headlamp lens in a vehicle headlamp and/or for orienting the headlamp lens towards a light source for irradiating light onto the light inlet surface.

A lighting apparatus includes: a first light source that emits a first light; a first lens that allows the first light to pass through and exit from a first exit face of the first lens; a second light source that emits a second light; and a second lens that is smaller than the first lens and allows the second light to pass through and exit from a second exit face of the second lens. When viewed from the first exit face side: (i) the first exit face has a recess that is recessed inward from a periphery of the first exit face; and (ii) the second exit face is at least partially disposed in the recess.
