VEHICLE LIGHT ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING SAME

A vehicle light assembly is provided. The vehicle lighting assembly includes a housing, a light source, a lens disposed in front of the light source, a light sensor disposed outside the lens for sensing light intensity of light output from the lens, and a controller controlling the light source to adjust intensity of the light based on the sensed light intensity. The controller may also control a lens cleaner based on the sensed light intensity.

Vehicle lamp having a leveling actuator coupled to an aiming nut

A vehicle lamp includes a lamp body, a lamp unit and a leveling actuator. The lamp unit is supported to the lamp body to be aimable in an upper and lower direction and in a right and left direction. The leveling actuator rotates the lamp unit in the upper and lower direction independently from rotation by the aiming. An aiming nut is mounted to the aiming screw and threadably engaged with the aiming screw. The leveling actuator comprises an actuator main body fixed and supported to the lamp unit and an output shaft member supported to the actuator main body to be moveable in the front and rear direction of the lamp. The output shaft member is disposed to protrude upward or downward from the actuator main body and is coupled to the aiming nut at a leading end portion of the output shaft member.

An electronic control module of a light source includes at least one circuit card supporting electronic components and configured to be received by a first of its edges in a housing. The control module has in the vicinity of the first edge a connecting portion including at least one rib perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the plane defined by the circuit card.

ADJUSTMENT UNIT FOR THE RANGE OF A HEADLIGHT FOR A VEHICLE

An adjustment unit for the mechanical adjustment of the beam range of at least one light unit of a headlight for a vehicle, comprising a main adjustment shaft, wherein the main adjustment shaft is rotatable arranged at a housing of the headlight and wherein the main adjustment shaft comprises or is coupled with a screw member, by means of which a rotary motion of the shaft can be caused in a shaft axis in order to adjust the beam range of the at least one light unit. According to the invention the main adjustment shaft comprises an engagement component, which is configured to engage with a counter engagement geometry when tilting the main adjustment shaft about a tilting axis.

Quick Adjust Vehicle Headlight Assembly
20200011500 · 2020-01-09 ·

A headlight assembly with a headlight cover having at least one opening to allow a beam of light from a headlight to pass through the opening. The headlight cover may be secured using a snap-fit to allow a user to release and rotate the headlight cover about the hinge without the use of a tool. Once the headlight cover is rotated open, an operator may then adjust a plurality of fasteners located on a headlight sub-assembly to adjust the direction of the beam from the headlight. The headlight sub-assembly may further be rotated about a second hinge to replace a headlight or more extensive repairs.

SUPPORT FRAME FOR A VEHICLE LIGHTING DEVICE

A support frame for components of a vehicle lighting device, especially for a housing or for a light module. The support frame features a sandwich structure of at least two metallic sheet members in parallel arrangement and at least one intermediate plastic joint member, which features form-locking joints with the sheet members.

Indiscernible headlamp adjuster mechanism

An apparatus, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a lamp housing that houses a headlamp adjuster assembly moveable between an adjustment position and an inaccessible stowed position within the lamp housing, and a holder to hold the headlamp adjuster assembly in the adjustment position. The holder is selectively removable such that the headlamp adjuster assembly retracts to the inaccessible stowed position. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, biasing a headlamp adjuster toward the inaccessible stowed position, installing the holder to hold the headlamp adjuster external to the lamp housing against the biasing force, adjusting a position of a headlamp with the headlamp adjuster, and removing the holder such that the headlamp adjuster retracts to the inaccessible stowed position.
