The light supply arrangement comprises a light source and is arranged to supply light to an input end of the HLP. The HLP is configured for scrambling the received light and for delivering a beam of light to a common packed input end of the fiber bundle.

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.

A fiber optic light panel assembly including an optical fiber layer including a plurality of optical fibers arranged in a predetermined form such that the optical fiber layer has a light emitting side configured to emit light, and a mounting side opposing the light emitting side. An adhesive layer is provided having a first side in direct contact with the mounting side of the optical fiber layer, and a second side opposing the first side and configured to directly contact a surface of a supporting structure such that the adhesive later mechanically connects the optical fiber layer to the support structure. Also included is a fiber bundle including portions of the plurality of optical fibers that are not in direct contact with the adhesive layer, and abrasions provided along a length of each of the plurality of optical fibers such that light can be emitted from the respective fiber, the abrasion being provided in the optical fiber layer and in at least part of the fiber bundle.

Provided is a vehicular illumination device including a light emitting portion mounted on a headlight, and capable of outputting light from the light emitting portion forwardly of a vehicle with enhanced design and enhanced visibility. An illumination device is provided on a front portion of a vehicle, and includes a headlight, a light guide, and an outer glass. The outer glass is configured such that a perimeter portion and a front surface portion are integrally formed. The perimeter portion includes an incident portion on a middle portion in a length direction of the light guide, the incident portion allowing incidence of light output from the light guide. The light guide is disposed in proximate to the incident portion. Light incident from the light guide to the perimeter portion is guided forwardly, while repeating reflection on inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the perimeter portion, and output forwardly from an output portion formed on the front side.

Provided is a vehicular illumination device capable of protecting a second light source portion from moisture and dust, and achieving enhanced design, while outputting light on the outside of a housing.
