A headlamp assembly includes a low beam assembly configured to generate a low beam distribution. The low beam assembly includes a first low beam solid state light source module having a first laser solid state light source optically configured to emit a first luminous intensity distribution and a second laser solid state light source optically configured to emit a second luminous intensity distribution, and a second low beam solid state light source module having a solid state light source optically configured to emit a third luminous intensity distribution which at least partially overlaps at least one of the first and second luminous intensity distributions. The headlamp assembly also has a high beam assembly configured to generate a high beam distribution.

A smart headlight includes a headlight mount, a main light source, at least one auxiliary light source, a lens and a light-shielding structure. The main light source is disposed on the headlight mount and the at least one auxiliary light source is disposed next to the main light source in symmetrical arrangement. The lens is connected to the headlight mount and corresponds in position to the main light source. The light shielding structure is disposed on the headlight mount and arranged between the main light source and the lens.

A lighting system and method of operating the same for a vehicle having a vehicle structure includes a plurality of primary low beam elements and a plurality of secondary low beam elements. The system further includes a primary high beam element and a secondary high beam element. A lean angle sensor is coupled to the vehicle structure. A controller is coupled to the lean angle sensor controlling the primary low beam elements, the secondary low beam element and the secondary high beam element in response to the lean angle.

A vehicle light source unit includes an optical supporting portion that supports the optical portion, a metal-made supporting portion, a fixing portion that fixes the metal-made supporting portion and the optical supporting portion in a partial and mutual manner, and a sliding portion that slidably supports the metal-made supporting portion and the optical supporting portion in a partial and mutual manner; the sliding portion is configured in such a way that the metal-made supporting portion and the optical supporting portion can slide on each other in a sliding direction and in such a way as to not only support the optical supporting portion against the metal-made supporting portion but also support the metal-made supporting portion against the optical supporting portion, toward the both sides of a supporting direction that are perpendicular to the sliding direction.

A vehicle includes a mirror light assembly. A plurality of light sources is disposed in a housing and a plurality of reflectors surrounds each light source having a focal axis that is offset from each of the remaining reflectors. A sensor is configured to detect an object proximate the vehicle. A controller is configured to selectively illuminate the light sources to illuminate the object.

A vehicle lamp forms an additional high-beam light distribution pattern with light emitted though a projection lens from a plurality of light emitting elements. The plurality of light emitting elements are disposed to be aligned in a transverse direction below a rear focal point of the projection lens and can be lit individually. The vehicle lamp forms an additional light distribution pattern by lighting the plurality of light emitting elements at the same time to form a high-beam light distribution pattern. In addition, the vehicle lamp forms another additional light distribution pattern where a part of the additional light distribution pattern is omitted by selectively lighting a part of the plurality of light emitting elements so as to form an intermediate light distribution pattern.
