20230008568 · 2023-01-12 ·

A lighting and/or signaling device for a motor vehicle. Further, the device includes a light guide having a light incident region, a first optical region, a second optical region, and a third optical region. Further, the first optical region is configured to receive and redirect incident light rays from the light incident region to the second optical region as a first set of light rays. Further, the second optical region is configured to receive the first set of light rays, refract a first portion thereof towards an exit facet and reflect a second portion thereof towards the third optical region as a second set of light rays. Further, the third optical region is configured to receive the second set of light rays and is configured to reflect the second set of light rays towards an exit facet of the third optical region.

Vehicle exterior lighting systems with revealable fascia lamp assemblies

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.

MULTI-COLORED VEHICLE REAR LAMP

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.

AUXILIARY VEHICLE LED LIGHTING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE
20220379800 · 2022-12-01 ·

The present invention is an LED lighting system which can be retrofit to an existing vehicle. The lighting system can provide sequential lighting of multiple lamps for effect. In a non-limiting embodiment, a 7-pin wireless remote controller may be plugged directly into a vehicle's 7-pin hitch harness port where it draws power and receives light signals for stopping, hazard (four-way lights), turning. It then in turn will process and communicate these signals to a wireless LED strip. In another non-limiting embodiment, a 4-pin wireless remote controller may be connected directly to a vehicle's 4-pin harness plug, if equipped, or spliced directly into the vehicle's wire harness if it is not equipped with a 4-pin plug. The 4-pin wireless remote controller will process these light signals and communicate them to a wireless LED strip.
