In order to ensure accuracy for positioning two molding members spaced from each other and an outer lens disposed in an opening between the two molding members, a vehicle lighting device includes: a first molding member; a second molding member that is formed separately from the first molding member and is spaced from the first molding member through an opening; and an outer lens, disposed in the opening, having a transmissive surface through which lamp light is transmitted from a depth side toward a front side. The first molding member and the second molding member each have a molding-side positioning portion configured to be positioned relative to the transmissive surface of the outer lens. The outer lens has a first lens-side positioning portion configured to be positioned relative to the first molding member and a second lens-side positioning portion configured to be positioned relative to the second molding member.

The invention relates to a signal light for a motor vehicle that has a fiber optic rod, which has a light emitting surface and a rear surface, in which deflection elements are located, and which has two side walls, and numerous pairs of reflectors and light sources, which are in a row in the rear surface, and which project light bundles through the fiber optic rod, transverse thereto. The fiber optic rod has two rear walls, each of which has deflection element edge and side wall edge, and extends longitudinally between the deflection elements and the side walls. The side wall edges are further apart than the deflection element edges in a cross section of the fiber optic rod that is transverse to the longitudinal direction thereof.

Disclosed is an optical fiber illumination apparatus configured for ensuring high light efficiency and uniform luminosity when displaying an illumination pattern with flexible optical fibers in fiber optic lighting.

A lighting apparatus includes a plurality of fiber optic panels coupled to respective light sources. The fiber optic panels include a set of optical fibers configured to emit light transversely to the optical axis thereof to form respective illumination regions in the fiber optic panels. A housing is included in the lighting apparatus to have an internal chamber and at least one window formed therein by which the internal chamber is in optical communication with the exterior of the housing. Additionally, an optical system such as a reflector or lens can subtend the light from the distal ends of the fibers within the chamber. The fiber optic panels are coupled to the housing to convey light into the internal chamber while the illumination regions extend from the housing to perform a lighting function of an automotive vehicle.
