Problem: To provide a light source unit that can be housed in a narrow space, can be curved to match the shape of the space, and can emit linear light in a desired lighting pattern, and a vehicle lamp equipped with this light source unit. Solution: A light source unit 1 is comprised of a strip of translucent film 3 in which LEDs 2 are embedded and strips of lenses 4 that cover the translucent film 3 on the top and back surfaces thereof. The lenses 4 are provided with a light collecting portion 41 that collects the light from the LEDs 2 and a reflective portion 42 that changes the direction of the light incident from the light collecting portion 41 on the surface opposite the surface on which the light collecting portion 41 is provided. The LEDs 2 are arranged linearly along the longitudinal direction of the translucent film 3, and each can be independently controlled for lighting.

An auxiliary third brake light which is installed on a truck bed enclosure or frame is disclosed. The auxiliary third brake light is not physically secured by adhesive or mechanical fastener to the truck bed, cab or body or any part of the truck. The parts of the auxiliary third brake light mounted to the truck bed cover and contact the truck bed, cab or body is pressed into contact. When the truck bed cover is collapsed or removed, the user can have full use of the truck bed. The parts of the auxiliary third brake light that contact the truck bed, cab or body are pulled off therefrom. When the truck bed cover is deployed to the erected position, the parts of the third brake light that contact the truck bed, cab or body are properly repositioned back into position.

An auxiliary spare tire brake light is provided for a vehicle having a spare tire with a rim that has spokes and openings and that is secured on lugs at the back of the vehicle. The auxiliary spare tire brake light includes a support disc having a central portion and a peripheral portion. An array of openings is formed in the central portion of the support disc and the openings are positioned to fit over the lugs at the back of the vehicle for positioning the support on the lugs behind the rim of the spare tire. An annular race extends around the peripheral portion of the support and a plurality of lights in the form of LEDs is disposed in the race. The LEDs are arrayed in a closely spaced substantially continuous array around the support to form a ring of LEDs. A wire and electrical connector electrically connect the plurality of LEDs to the brake circuitry of the vehicle so that the LEDs are illuminated when the vehicle's brake pedal is depressed, A first portion of the ring of LEDs align with and project light directly through the openings in the rim of the spare tire to be seen from behind as an indication that the vehicle is braking. A second portion of the ring of LEDs aligns behind) the spokes and reflects off of the backs of the spokes to silhouette the rim against the glow of the reflected light.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive radar data from a radar sensor of a vehicle; demarcate a zone of coverage of the radar sensor, the zone of coverage having an area based on a number of objects indicated by the radar data; and after demarcating the zone of coverage, in response to detecting a newly present object in the zone of coverage, adjust a scanning rate of the radar sensor based on a distance of the newly present object from the radar sensor.

In a vehicle lamp body device provided with a first light source arranged at a center of a base and second light sources arranged at both ends of the base, the device includes a first lightguide rod configured to branch and guide light from the first light source to an outside of both ends of the base and a second lightguide rod configured to guide light from the second light sources to the outside of both ends of the base respectively, the first lightguide rod and the second lightguide rod are superimposed in a light emission direction on the outside of both ends of the base and optical paths of the first lightguide rod and the second lightguide rod are merged.

A light apparatus, system, and method to replace a vehicle light is disclosed which includes a retainer bracket attached to a light assembly and a camera housing attached to the light assembly, wherein the camera housing is configured to secure a digital or analog camera to the light assembly.

In a vehicle lamp body device provided with a first light source arranged at a center of a base and second light sources arranged at both ends of the base, the device includes a first lightguide rod configured to branch and guide light from the first light source to an outside of both ends of the base and a second lightguide rod configured to guide light from the second light sources to the outside of both ends of the base respectively, the first lightguide rod and the second lightguide rod are superimposed in a light emission direction on the outside of both ends of the base and optical paths of the first lightguide rod and the second lightguide rod are merged.

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 method of manufacturing a plastic glazing of a tailgate of a vehicle, the method comprising: injecting a first material into a molding apparatus to form a first component of the plastic glazing, wherein the first component comprises a panel of the plastic glazing; injecting a second material into the molding apparatus to form a second component of the plastic glazing, wherein the second component combines with at least the first component, wherein at least a portion of the first component and the second component comprises a transparent cover of a molded light assembly; and injecting a third material into the molding apparatus to form a third component, wherein the third component combines with at least the first component.

A partition member (20) partitions a space occupied by a person from the outside. The space is, for example, an interior of a mobile object (30) such as a vehicle. A substrate (100) is disposed on a surface of the partition member (20) on the space side and has optical transparency. On a surface (a second surface (110b)) of the substrate (100) on the space side, a plurality of light-emitting units and an insulating layer (150) are disposed. Each light-emitting unit (140) includes a light-transmitting first electrode (110), an organic layer (120), and a second electrode (130) in this order from the external side. The insulating layer (150) defines the plurality of light-emitting units (140). A third region (106: a light-transmitting region) in the substrate (100) in which the second electrode (130) and the insulating layer (150) are not formed is provided between light-emitting units (140) next to each other.
