Examples of the present disclosure relate to a headlamp heater for a headlamp assembly. In examples, a headlamp assembly comprises a heating element, which directs radiation toward a lens of the headlamp assembly in order to prevent or remove condensation/precipitation on the lens. In examples, the heating element is an infrared heating element, and the wavelength of radiation emitted by the heating element is selected to be a wavelength that excites water. In some examples, the heating element is angled toward the lens and/or has multiple angled surfaces, thereby altering the radiation pattern that is directed toward the lens such that it better matches the beam pattern of a light source in the headlamp assembly.

Methods for aiming a headlamp assembly of a vehicle having an aiming bracket and a sensor coupled to the aiming bracket. The method includes adjusting the aiming bracket such that an optical axis of the optical assembly inside of the headlamp assembly is parallel to a predetermined axis). The method further includes storing an output of the sensor when the optical axis is parallel to the predetermined axis. The method further includes installing the headlamp assembly into the vehicle. The method further includes adjusting the aiming bracket such that the output of the sensor equals the stored output.

A vehicle lamp includes a first optical unit that irradiates light for forming a first beam pattern; a second optical unit that irradiates light for forming a second beam pattern and is disposed on one side of the first optical unit in a left-right direction; and a lens unit disposed in front of the first optical unit and the second optical unit to allow the light irradiated from at least one of the first optical unit or the second optical unit to pass through the lens unit to form at least one of the first beam pattern or the second beam pattern. The lens unit includes a first lens module corresponding to the first optical unit and a second lens module corresponding to the second optical unit, and the first lens module and the second lens module are integrally formed with one another.

Chionophobia intervention systems and methods are disclosed herein. An example method includes detecting snowfall from a vehicle sensor of a vehicle or a service provider, displaying a prompt on a human machine interface (HMI) to query a user regarding additional assistance in response to the detection of the snowfall, activating a first stage response after detecting the snowfall, determining when the first stage response is insufficient based on feedback received from the user, and activating a second stage response when the feedback received from the user indicates that the first stage response is insufficient.
