A thin aspect lighting system and method are shown. The system and method include at least one module having a reflector that is generally elliptical in one cross-section and generally parabolic in another cross-section. Each module is adapted to generate at least one of a flat beam pattern, a high beam pattern or a low beam pattern, such as a low beam pattern with a kink or elbow. Also shown is a headlamp assembly having a plurality of modules that generate the same or a different light beam pattern. Manipulation and variation of facets and/or positions of various components, such as at least one light source, have been found to provide improved characteristics in one or more of the light beam patterns.

A lighting apparatus includes a light source part having a first light source and a second light source provided away from the first light source, a reflective part provided away from the first light source and second light source and reflecting light emitted from the first light source and second light source, and a support part facing the reflective part and supporting the light source part. The reflective part includes a plurality of reflective plates which are continuously provided. Each of the reflective plates provided adjacent to one another has a reflective surface which is shaped differently from one another.
