The present a vehicle exterior device and vehicle light, wherein the vehicle exterior device includes a body defining a chamber adapted to receive the light unit; a support received in the chamber and fixed with the body, wherein the support is configured to be connected to the light unit. By providing a chamber on the body and fixing the support in the chamber, it is possible to hide a light element in the chamber and fix it with the body such that the light element may be prevented from being touched by outside damage.

A kit for illuminating chain slots on a trailer includes a plurality of brackets, each having a first arm and a second arm. The second arm is oriented at an angle to the first arm and has a mounting area. A tool is provided for positioning a bracket adjacent a respective chain slot on the trailer and for holding the bracket in place adjacent the chain slot until the bracket is attached to the trailer. The tool has a portion configured to engage with the mounting area of the bracket. Lights are also provided, each light configured to be attached to a respective mounting area of the bracket after the bracket has been attached to the trailer and the portion of the tool has been disengaged from the mounting area. An electrical conductor is configured to connect the plurality of lights to an electrical wiring harness of the trailer.

A heated light enclosure having an adaptable heating system is provided with a controlled heating system to deliver enough heat to a lens on a lamp assembly to remove snow, frost, and/or condensation without overheating the lens. By heating the lens using a combination of one or more of PTC heaters, heat sinks and heat pipes, accumulation of snow, ice, or vapor is mitigated or eliminated from a surface of the lens, thereby enabling light to transmit through the lens. Applications include lamps and bulbs on conveyance devices, including vehicles, boats, planes, and trains, as well as sedentary structures, such as lamp posts, street lights, railroad crossing markers and lights, and airport ground and runway lighting systems.

A cover for a motor vehicle light is disclosed. The cover includes a base having a cylindrical shape with a closed top end and an open bottom end, wherein at least the top end of the base is comprised of a light permeable material, flanges extending perpendicularly from the bottom end of the base, wherein the flanges mate with slots located along a circumference of a motor vehicle light, a first surface on an exterior surface of the base, a cap, bars extending across the top of the cap, the bars comprised of a material that blocks light, a second surface on the cap configured to mate with the first surface of the base, wherein when the cap is welded onto the base, light from the motor vehicle light passes through the top end of the base and is blocked by the bars.

A spoiler includes a lower shell, a bracket, a plurality of optical sensors, a CHMSL (center high mounted stop lamp) and an upper shell. The lower shell extends substantially a width of a vehicle roof. The bracket is fixed to the lower shell. The optical sensors are fixed to the bracket. The CHMSL is fixed to one of the lower shell and the bracket. The upper shell is disposed over and fixed to the lower shell. The upper shell has a plurality of sensor apertures aligned with the sensors and a CHMSL aperture aligned with the CHMSL.

The preset invention provides a light unit attached to a vehicle, the unit including a ventilation mechanism configured to ventilate a space between an outer lens and a housing, wherein the ventilation mechanism includes a first passage including, at one end, a first opening connected to a communicating hole and communicating with the space, a second passage including, at one end, a second opening that opens to a front side of the vehicle, a third passage including, at one end, a third opening that opens to a rear side of the vehicle, and a connecting passage to which the other end of the first passage, the other end of the second passage, and the other end of the third passage are connected.

A lens for a vehicle headlamp, the lens comprising an inner surface and an outer surface. A cleaning arrangement is arranged to provide a cleaning fluid to the outer surface of the lens. An inlet is connectable to a cleaning fluid hose for providing cleaning fluid to the cleaning arrangement. The cleaning arrangement comprises: a channel and an array of outlets in fluid communication with the channel. The channel is attached to the lens and is adapted to transport the cleaning fluid from the inlet to the array of outlets which are located on the outer side of the lens on the same side as the outer surface for providing the cleaning fluid to the outer surface of the lens. The invention also relates to a headlamp arrangement and a vehicle.

A rear structure of a vehicle includes a flip-up back door for opening and closing an opening formed in the rear part of the vehicle. The back door has lamp fitting recesses, into which rear lamps are fitted, extending inwardly from the ends of the back door in the vehicle width direction which are recessed in a vehicle inner side. The lamp fitting recesses are provided, on its bottom walls, with flow restraint recesses extending in upward and downward directions in the lamp fitting recesses which are recessed in the vehicle inner side. The lamp fitting recesses are provided with, on portions or the lower walls thereof that are located more outwardly in the vehicle width direction than the flow restraint recesses, inclined parts in which lower walls of the lamp fitting recesses are inclined downward toward the rear of the vehicle or the outside in the vehicle width direction.
