A vehicle lamp includes: a first light source; and a columnar first light guide. The first light guide includes an incidence surface on which light of the first light source is incident, a first part that extends from the incidence surface toward one side in a direction of vehicle width, a second part that extends from an end of the first part toward one side in the vertical direction, and a third part that extends from an end of the second part toward the other side in the direction of vehicle width.

A lighting device for vehicles, including a light source and including a two-dimensional luminous element, which has a light-coupling narrow side, a light-decoupling flat side and a deflector for deflecting the light coupled in at the light-coupling narrow side in the direction of the light-decoupling flat side, the two-dimensional luminous element including segmenter, with the aid of which the light-decoupling flat side is divided into luminous segments having different emission characteristics.

A vehicle lighting device including a light source configured to emit diverging light a fiber bundle including a plurality of optical fibers bundled into a cross sectional shape configured to be optically coupled to the light source; and a coupling device configured to optically couple the light source to the fiber bundle, the coupling device including a reflecting portion configured to reflect the diverging light toward the optical fiber bundle and a blocking portion configured to block light from bleeding from the assembly.

A lighting system may include one or more light sources and one or more light guides. A lighting system may be integrated into a window, a skylight, an exterior light such as a headlight, a tail light, or a high center-mounted stop light, or other exterior or interior portions of a system such as a vehicle. The light guide may be embedded in an adhesive layer in a vehicle structure. The light guide may be index-matched to the adhesive layer so that unilluminated portions of the light guide are indistinguishable from the vehicle structure. The light guide may be formed from optical fibers. The optical fibers may include a light-scattering optical fiber that scatters light out of the vehicle structure. The light-scattering optical fiber may be fused to a non-scattering optical fiber that guides light from a light source to the light-scattering optical fiber.

A lamp body includes a light source, a light guide body configured to cause light from the light source to be guided and cause the light to be emitted from a light emitting surface, a reflector configured to cause the light, which has exited from a light guide exit surface of the light guide body, to be reflected toward a side of the light emitting surface; and a half mirror disposed to face the reflector and having a reflection area where the light reflected by the reflector is reflected toward a side of the reflector and a transmission area where the reflected light is transmitted. In the light guide body, a first light guide lens causes the light to be guided in a first direction and a second light guide lens has the light guide exit surface from which the light exits in a second direction intersecting the first direction.

An optical lens for a vehicle may include: a lens body; a light receiving part disposed on one side of the lens body so as to face a light source, and configured to receive light from the light source; a light emitting part disposed on the other side of the lens body so as to face a multi-core optical system, and configured to emit light having passed through the lens body toward the multi-core optical system; and a total internal reflection part formed between the light receiving part and the light emitting part, and configured to totally reflect lights incident from the light receiving part toward the light emitting part.

Described herein is an illumination device for projecting light in a predetermined illumination pattern on a surface. The illumination device includes a light module having a light source and a light pipe configured to transmit light in any suitable manner. The illumination device also includes a housing having a cavity, an entrance opening for receiving the light emitted from the light source, and an aperture at a second housing end. Within the housing between the entrance opening and the aperture is a screen at least partially disposed in the cavity, the screen having at least one opening defining a base pattern configuration corresponding to the predetermined illumination pattern. The light pipe is configured to selectively transmit light from the light source to the cavity and may be linear or non-linear such that the light source and the surface to be illuminated do not need to face one another.

A lighting apparatus disposition structure for a saddle riding vehicle by which a traveling performance can be improved is disclosed. A lighting apparatus includes a laser element, a first light guide member and a second light guide member, a front light emission unit and a rear light emission unit, and a driver unit. The laser element and the driver unit are integrated as a light source unit. The light source unit is disposed between a head pipe that includes a steering axis for a front wheel and a pivot shaft that supports a rear wheel through a swing arm.
