Various embodiments of a combination lamp are provided, which combine a plurality of different lamp functions in a unitary configuration, and can reduce the total amount of space taken up for at least substantially the same amount of illumination produced. The combination lamps can be configured for use on vehicles, light fixtures, free standing lamps, decorative articles, etc. In some embodiments, each lamp component may have a power connection element independent from the other lamp components.

A vehicle includes a back door glass, a high mount stop lamp provided in front of the back door glass facing the back door glass in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, an interior panel provided below the high mount stop lamp and configured to extend along the front-rear direction of the vehicle, and a seal member. The high mount stop lamp includes a lamp base and an extension portion configured to extend from the lamp base toward the back door glass at a rear of the vehicle in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. The seal member is configured to seal a space between the back door glass and the extension portion.

A rear liftgate assembly with at least one rear lamp applique assembly and process for manufacturing same. The lamp applique assembly includes a rear lamp applique housing with at least one attachment surface for attaching to an outer panel of the liftgate assembly. A plurality of integrated snap attachment features are provided to connect the lamp applique assembly to the outer panel, thereby eliminating additional bonding and fasteners. A self-sealing wire harness connected accepts an integrated lamp connector, thereby eliminating the need for access openings, to further minimize water intrusion, and eliminate gaskets.

A motor vehicle has a rear light to which a screen, which covers a light housing of the rear light is attached in the region of a water channel arranged or formed adjacent to a rear opening of the motor vehicle. Advantageously, the screen has a passage opening or a cutout that, in the mounted state of the screen, is occupied by a tab of the light housing of the rear light whose shape is complementary to that of the passage opening or the cutout of the screen. The marks relating to the rear light are applied to a tab surface of the tab, and/or are introduced into the tab surface, that is visible from outside the vehicle when the screen is in its mounted state.

An illuminable vehicle component and a method for illuminating a vehicle component includes a vehicle component including an A-surface, a photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source covering the A-surface, a pigmented layer coving the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source, and an optional optically clear top coat covering the pigmented layer. When the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source is not activated and is not emitting light, the pigmented layer has an opaque appearance. When the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source is activated to emit light, light emitted from the photoluminescent or electroluminescent light source is transmitted through the pigmented layer and the optional optically clear top coat such that the illuminable vehicle component has an illuminated appearance and the component is illuminated.

A motor vehicle has a rear light to which a screen, which covers a light housing of the rear light is attached in the region of a water channel arranged or formed adjacent to a rear opening of the motor vehicle. Advantageously, the screen has a passage opening or a cutout that, in the mounted state of the screen, is occupied by a tab of the light housing of the rear light whose shape is complementary to that of the passage opening or the cutout of the screen. The marks relating to the rear light are applied to a tab surface of the tab, and/or are introduced into the tab surface, that is visible from outside the vehicle when the screen is in its mounted state.

A lighting and/or signalling device for motor vehicles, comprising: a container body, a lenticular body that forms a housing chamber; at least one light source, arranged inside the housing chamber; a first gasket made of elastomeric material, which extends along at least one part of a perimeter edge of the container body and which defines a barrier to the ingress of water and/or foreign bodies between the container body and the bodywork. The housing body includes one or more spacer elements, each of which consists of an appendix which protrudes from the housing body in a predetermined position and abuts against the bodywork in the housing seat. Each spacer element is provided with a cap made of elastomeric material applied to cover at least one free end portion of the spacer element.

A motor vehicle has a body, a vehicle part, and a spring bolt for fastening the vehicle part in a receptacle of the body. The rotational axis of the spring bolt is arranged in such a way that it has exactly one point of intersection with an XY plane of the motor vehicle.

A taillight assembly includes a lamp housing and a deformable member. The lamp housing is configured to be fixedly supported to a movable panel of a vehicle body structure. The lamp housing is positioned relative to an overhang of the movable panel such that the lamp housing and the overhang are separated by a space. The deformable member is attached to the lamp housing and disposed within the space. The deformable member has a first exposed surface that substantially aligns with a second exposed surface of the lamp housing and a third exposed surface of the overhang.

A vehicle taillamp assembly includes an attachment bracket and a lamp housing. The attachment bracket is configured for secure attachment to a vehicle body structure. The attachment bracket has an upright extending portion, an upper horizontally extending portion and a lower horizontally extending portion. The upright extending portion has a first projection extending therefrom and a second projection extending therefrom. The lamp housing is configured to attach to the first projection and the second projection.
