A vehicle light guide body includes an incident surface that light from the light source enters, a first reflective surface that internally reflects the light that has entered from the incident surface to form nearly parallel light, a second reflective surface that internally reflects the light from the first reflective surface, a third reflective surface provided in a position located in front of the second reflective surface in a front-rear direction and in a portion in at least one of end faces in a left-right direction, a light shielding part that shields a part of the light reflected by the second reflective surface, and a light emitting surface that emits the light that has been internally reflected by the second reflective surface and has passed through the light shielding part to illuminate a headlight pattern in front of a vehicle.

A light guide assembly for a vehicle headlamp is provided. The light guide assembly generally includes a light guide, a retainer defining an elongated channel for the light guide, and a carrier within the retainer and partially surrounding the light guide. The carrier is a standalone component in some embodiments, while in other embodiments the carrier is a layer or a coating on the retainer. The carrier is substantially black and is visible on either side of the light guide to mask a break in the carrier, the break providing an opening for the light guide to enter the headlamp housing. The light guide assembly thereby achieves a consistently-dark border on either side of the light guide along its entire length, even in the location of the housing opening.

An illumination module for a motor vehicle that includes at least a light source, an optical light guide including an entry face for the light emitted by the light source and a light exit face. The optical guide is arranged in order to allow propagation of the light from its entry face to its exit face. An opaque mask is arranged on the path of the light rays exiting the optical guide and includes at least one window allowing the passage of the light. At least one supplementary optical element closes off the window. The supplementary optical element includes a convergent optical device.

A vehicle winglet (e.g., sideview mirror, camera or radar assembly, etc.) is provided with sequential illumination of light-emitting diodes (LEDs). A light guide is connected to and covers the LEDs. The light guide is made of a translucent material and is configured to guide light illuminated by the LEDs and transfer the light out of the light guide. The light guide includes a plurality of light guide towers extending therefrom. Each light guide tower is aligned with a respective one of the LEDs. In some embodiments, a plurality of collimators are provided, with each collimator aligned with a respective one of the LEDs and with a respective one of the light guide towers to redirect the light illuminated from the respective LED into the respective light guide tower.

A lighting strip comprises a flexible printed circuit strip. The flexible printed circuit strip comprises a plurality of wiring portions and a plurality of carrying portions. The plurality of wiring portions are configured to supply electrical power to the plurality of carrying portions. The lighting strip comprises a plurality of solid-state lighting elements respectively disposed on the plurality of carrying portions. The plurality of wiring portions include at least one pitch adjusting portion configured to adjust a pitch between two adjacent carrying portions and to enable the flexible printed circuit strip to be arranged in a three-dimensional shape.
