A vehicle lighting fixture comprising a housing, an outer lens attached to the housing and forming a first space between the outer lens and the housing, and a lighting-fixture unit arranged in the first space, wherein the outer lens includes a light-transmitting part through which light emitted from the lighting-fixture unit passes and a recess arranged below the light-transmitting part, wherein the vehicle lighting fixture further comprising: a radar cover arranged in a state of covering the recess and forming a second space between the radar cover and the recess; a bracket arranged in the second space; a radar unit arranged in the second space in a state of detachably being fixed to the bracket; a first fixing part fixing one end of the bracket to the outer lens, and a second fixing part fixing the other end of the bracket to the housing.

Method for the encrypted exchange of data between a vehicle and an infrastructure or a further vehicle using headlamp light of the vehicle, wherein the data are encrypted and modulated onto the headlamp light in order to identify the user and/or the vehicle, wherein the key for encrypting the data is generated by user-controlled transformation.

An illumination system for a vehicle running board comprises at least one lighting module in connection with a step portion of the running board. The lighting module extends longitudinally along the running board proximate to at least one door of the vehicle. The lighting module comprises a first light source disposed in a first end portion of the lighting module and a second light source disposed in a second end portion of the lighting module. A waveguide forms an emission surface extending longitudinally along a side portion of the step portion. A controller is configured to activate the first light source illuminating the side portion in a first color and activate the second light source to illuminate the side portion in a second color.

A headlight assembly for use in a vehicle and for reporting emergency conditions to a dispatcher, the headlight assembly comprising a housing forming a cavity, a processor mounted in the cavity, a wireless transceiver supported by the housing and linked to the processor, at least a first sensor device for sensing at least a first condition while the vehicle is operating, the first sensor device in communication with the processor, wherein the processor is programmed to receive data from the at least a first sensor device, analyze the received data to assess likelihood that an emergency condition exists and upon determining that likelihood of an emergency condition is greater than a first threshold level, automatically initiating a wireless emergency reporting communication with an emergency dispatcher.

An LED taillight with an integrated GPS tracking system is disclosed therein. The GPS tracking system is hidden behind the LED portion of the LED taillight so that the GPS tracking system is not noticeable by someone inspecting a trailer on which the LED taillight is installed. Additionally, power sent to the LED taillight to power the LEDs also recharge a battery associated with the GPS tracking system and power the GPS tracking system during use.

Disclosed is a case structure for a rear combination lamp in an automobile in which a rear combination lamp case in a corner portion formed in a rear portion of a vehicle is formed in a corner case having a substantial triangle pyramid shape by a rear plate, a side plate and a planner plate, wherein the rear plate forms a case rear face on which a concave notch portion is formed in a substantial center, wherein the side plate forms an air communication side face which is formed so as to gradually become narrower width toward a rear thereof, and wherein the planner plate forms a concave air communication path in a center thereof so that a terminal end of the concave air communication path communicates with the concave notch portion of the rear plate.

A multifunction lamp unit for a vehicle includes a housing, at least one light pipe together with at least one light source disposed at least partially within the housing, and a clear lens substantially enclosing the housing, the at least one light pipe and the at least one light source, the lens having an inner surface, an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface and at least one of a continuous transparent and translucent coating on the outer surface.

An illuminated spare tire cover, designed to enclose an externally mounted spare tire, has an outer covering with a plurality of grommeted openings therethrough. The openings form a pattern. An electric light is located within each opening, such that a lighted image is created through the pattern when the lights are illuminated. Strips of Velcro hold the lights in place. The lights can be configured as various images, logos, symbols, lettering, etc. An internal layer made of non-flammable material fits over the interior surface of the outer covering to insulate and support the cover and reinforce the lights located within the interior surface of the outer covering. The cover is equipped with electrical wiring and an electrical connector plug. An extension cord is connected to the vehicle's electrical outlet and run under the vehicle's seats to be connected to the electric connector plug.

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.

In a power supply, a first output terminal and a second output terminal are electrically connected to each other, and a first common terminal and a second common terminal are electrically connected to each other. When a value of a consumption current of a motor is equal to or smaller than a value of a maximum output current of a second constant voltage circuit, the second constant voltage circuit keeps a second voltage at a steady voltage value. When the value of the consumption current of the motor is larger than the value of the maximum output current, the second constant voltage circuit control the second voltage to have a value smaller than a value of the first voltage, and a first constant voltage circuit supplies a differential current which corresponds to a difference between the consumption current of the motor and the maximum output current of the second constant voltage circuit.
