A multi-purpose vehicle includes a load carrier deck supported to a vehicle body frame which is supported on a ground surface via front wheels and rear wheels. The load carrier deck includes a deck constituting unit having a bottom plate, a left wall, a right wall, a front wall and a rear wall. A lamp for illuminating inside of the load carrier deck is provided in the deck constituting unit.

A driving assistance apparatus that includes a brake operation portion that applies a brake to a vehicle, the brake operation portion allowing a manual brake operation by a hand of a driver of the vehicle, the brake operation portion including a brake operation body and a grip portion to be gripped by the hand of the driver, the grip portion being provided at an upper end of the brake operation body, and a shift-down switch that shifts-down the vehicle is provided on the grip portion, the shift-down switch allowing a manual shift-down operation by the hand of the driver.

A directional headlamp assembly for independently directing light from a pair of headlamps includes a pair of headlamp modules and a controller. Each headlamp module replaces a respective headlamp of a pair of existing headlamps of a vehicle. The headlamp module comprises a first housing, which insertable of into an opening created upon removal of the respective headlamp, so that the first housing is engaged to the vehicle. A bulb is pivotally engaged to a front of the first housing. An actuator is engaged to and positioned in the first housing. The actuator is operationally engaged to the bulb. The controller is mountable within a passenger compartment of the vehicle so that it is accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The controller is independently and operationally engaged to each of the actuators and thus is positioned to selectively actuate each actuator to direct light emitted by an associated bulb.

A vehicle lighting system for use on a motor vehicle having an auxiliary device assembled on the motor vehicle is provided. The vehicle lighting system includes a first lighting system located on a body of the vehicle. The first lighting system has a plurality of different lights. A second lighting system is located on the auxiliary device. The second lighting system has a plurality of different lights. A control circuit operates one or more of the plurality of different lights in the second lighting system based on an operating sequence of one or more of the plurality of different lights in the first lighting system.

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.

A vehicle courtesy signaling device for communicating a wave to a proximate person at night includes a housing, which has a first face that is substantially transparent. A fastener engaged to the housing can selectively engage a rearview mirror or window of a vehicle so that the housing is removably engaged to the rearview mirror or the window, with the first face of the housing being visible through the window. A plurality of light emitting diodes is engaged to the housing and is positioned in an interior space defined thereby. The light emitting diodes selectively emulate a waving hand.

A vehicle system includes: a camera that can capture an image of a vehicle occupant; and a state change unit that can change an image capturing state for the vehicle occupant by the camera to each of an image capturing permitted state where an image of the vehicle occupant is permitted to be captured and an image capturing limited state where capturing the image of the vehicle occupant is limited. The state change unit changes the image capturing state for each vehicle occupant.

The present invention relates to an illumination system for a vehicle, including at least a first projection device for projecting at least one pixelated light source defining at least a first projection envelope and at least a second projection device for projecting at least one pixelated light beam defining at least a second projection envelope and configured to project at least one pictogram, wherein at least a first projection envelope and the at least a second projection envelope have at least one area of overlap.

A vehicle lamp with a rotating light source may include a signal receiver which receives a signal from one or more sensors provided in a vehicle; a light emitting diode (LED) portion having one or more LED elements configured to emit light toward an outside of the vehicle; a controller connected to the one or more LED elements and configured to control a light generation amount of the one or more LED elements; a signal transmitter which is connected to the signal receiver, receives the signal from the signal receiver and transmits the received signal to the controller; and a driver coupled to the LED portion and configured to rotate the LED portion, wherein the controller controls the light generation amount of the one or more LED elements in a response to the signal.
