A switch structure includes a light-emitting part configured to receive power from a vehicle and to radiate light, a moving block located so as to surround the light-emitting part, a light-transmissive part configured to allow light radiated from the light-emitting part to pass through an opening in the moving block, and a film-printing layer located on a top surface of the light-transmissive part and including a symbol.

A present invention provide a vehicle light system which prevents low-beam headlights from being forgotten to turn on while a vehicle is traveling and is able to turn off the low-beam headlights when it is not necessary, a rotation position of a light switch includes an AUTO position, a SMALL position, and an OFF position, the light switch includes a momentary mechanism which returns a position to the AUTO position when the position is changed to the OFF position or the SMALL position, lights include the low-beam headlights and position lights, the AUTO position allows the low-beam headlights and the position lights to turn on or off depending on a brightness outside the vehicle, and a light control unit turns off the low-beam headlights and turns on the position lights when the rotation position is set to the AUTO position, the brightness outside the vehicle is lower than a predetermined value, a speed is lower than a first predetermined speed, and the rotation position is then changed to the SMALL position or the OFF position.

Technologies are disclosed for contingency vehicular signaling. A first DC power source may be connected with one or more indicators. The first DC power source may be connected with a second DC power source, and/or a third DC power source, via a semiconductor. The first DC power source may be configured to receive a second DC current flow from the second DC power source, and/or a third DC current flow from the third DC power source. The semiconductor may be configured to block a first DC current flow from the first DC power source to the second DC power source, and/or the third DC power source. The first DC power source may be configured to provide the one or more indicators with the first DC current flow via the at least one electrical switch regardless of a magnitude of the second DC current flow, and/or the third DC current flow.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror reflective element subassembly having a mirror reflective element, a mirror reflector coating, a mirror back plate, and indicator element. The indicator element includes a circuit board and a light source. The indicator element includes a diffuser that diffuses light emitted by the light source. An icon is established through a metallic reflector coating disposed at the glass substrate. The icon includes a light-transmitting aperture. With the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at the vehicle, and when the light source is activated, light emitted by the light source passes through a light-transmitting portion of a heater pad and through the light-transmitting aperture of the icon. With the vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly attached at the vehicle and when the light source is activated, the icon is illuminated and is viewable by the driver of the vehicle.

The disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods for providing a display pertaining to a vehicle payload. An example method executed by a processor of a vehicle payload display system includes determining a weight of a payload placed upon the vehicle and displaying upon a ground surface outside the vehicle and/or upon a windshield of the vehicle, an image that provides an indication of the weight of the payload placed upon the vehicle. Another example method executed by the processor includes obtaining information about a laden weight of the vehicle, determining a weight difference between the laden weight and a payload capacity of the vehicle, determining, based on the weight difference, a payload margin available for loading the vehicle or an excess weight loaded upon the vehicle, and displaying the payload margin or the first excess weight upon a display surface that is viewable from outside the vehicle.

A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights including an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module, and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps.

An arrangement for providing at least one or multiple different light functions for a vehicle having: a first lamp segment for providing a first light function in a first normal operation mode, a second lamp segment for providing the first or a second light function in a second normal operation mode, wherein the second lamp segment is connected in parallel to the first lamp segment, at least one switch for switchover between the first and second normal operation modes, and a monitoring device that is electrically connected to the lamp segments in order to sense an electrical voltage across the lamp segments for distinguishing the normal operation modes from faulty operation of the lamp segments.

A present invention provide a vehicle light system which prevents low-beam headlights from being forgotten to turn on while a vehicle is traveling and is able to turn off the low-beam headlights when it is not necessary, a rotation position of a light switch includes an AUTO position, a SMALL position, and an OFF position, the light switch includes a momentary mechanism which returns a position to the AUTO position when the position is changed to the OFF position or the SMALL position, lights include the low-beam headlights and position lights, the AUTO position allows the low-beam headlights and the position lights to turn on or off depending on a brightness outside the vehicle, and a light control unit turns off the low-beam headlights and turns on the position lights when the rotation position is set to the AUTO position, the brightness outside the vehicle is lower than a predetermined value, a speed is lower than a first predetermined speed, and the rotation position is then changed to the SMALL position or the OFF position.

A recreational vehicle control apparatus and a recreational vehicle are provided. The recreational vehicle control apparatus includes a first controlled switch configured to generate a first output signal in response to receiving a first control signal, and switch a polarity of the first output signal based on a status of the first control signal. A second controlled switch is configured to generate a second output signal in response to receiving the first control signal. The second controlled switch outputs the second output signal to a first controlled end of a controlled object group. A third controlled switch is configured to generate a third output signal in response to receiving the second control signal and the first output signal transmitted by the first controlled switch. The third controlled switch outputs the third output signal to a second controlled end of the controlled object group. The present application may save wires and equipment with high integration level and small space occupation.
