Vehicle exterior lighting systems may be equipped with fascia mounted lamp assemblies. The proposed systems are capable of controlling a fascia lamp assembly to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia and then produce various lighting effects based on sensed vehicle conditions. Exemplary fascia lamp assemblies may include a conductive lens that can be charged in order to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia.

A lamp for the rear of a vehicle is disclosed with a light transmissive cover having a red first illuminated surface area and a clear second illuminated surface area. It has a first LED light emitter located directly beneath the red first area, a second LED light emitter located directly beneath the clear second area, and a third LED light emitter, also located directly beneath said clear second area. The third red LED light emitter is for emitting red light through the clear second area simultaneously with light transmitted through the red first area, whereby the first and second areas are adapted to collectively form a contiguous red illuminated surface area.

A vehicle lamp includes: a first light source and a second light source having light emission colors different from each other; and a light guide body that receives and emits light from the first light source and the second light source. The light guide body includes an incident portion on which the light is incident, a reflecting portion that reflects the light incident from the incident portion, and an emitting portion that emits the light reflected by the reflecting portion. The reflecting portion includes a plurality of first light distribution control surfaces that reflects the light from the first light source toward a predetermined direction and a plurality of second light distribution control surfaces that reflects the light from the second light source toward the predetermined direction. The plurality of first and second light distribution control surfaces are alternately arranged.

An automotive light comprising a lighting assembly which is located inside the rear body, is adapted to backlight a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent sector of the front half-shell, and comprises: a pair of light-guide bars made of photoconductive material, which extend toward each other inside the rear body, while remaining both substantially grazing the front half-shell, and have their respective proximal ends adjacent and aligned to one another; and a pair of electrically-powered light sources that are located within the rear body each adjacent to the distal end of a respective light-guide bar, and are oriented so as to direct the light produced inside the body of the facing light-guide bar; the proximal ends of both light-guide bars being shaped so as to form respective plate-like heads that are locally substantially coplanar to each other and are arranged inside the rear body one spaced beside the other, so as to form/delimit therebetween a small transversal slot, which is substantially straight and is inclined with respect to the local longitudinal axis of the same light-guide bars.

A vehicle lamp includes a metal plate having a light source mounted thereon, a lens that light emitted from the light source enters and passes through to exit forward, and a holder that holds the lens. The metal plate and the lens are positioned to the holder.
