A lighting device for a vehicle includes a first lighting part arranged on a stationary body part of the vehicle, and a second lighting part arranged on a movable body part of the vehicle. A gap in a vehicle width direction is provided between the first lighting part and the second lighting part. The first lighting part includes a first reflector and the second lighting part includes a second reflector. The first reflector is located forward of the second reflector in a vehicle forward-rearward direction, and the gap is rearward of the first reflector in the vehicle forward-rearward direction. The second reflector is inclined toward one of the first reflector and the gap.

Disclosed is a case structure for a rear combination lamp in an automobile in which a rear combination lamp case in a corner portion formed in a rear portion of a vehicle is formed in a corner case having a substantial triangle pyramid shape by a rear plate, a side plate and a planner plate, wherein the rear plate forms a case rear face on which a concave notch portion is formed in a substantial center, wherein the side plate forms an air communication side face which is formed so as to gradually become narrower width toward a rear thereof, and wherein the planner plate forms a concave air communication path in a center thereof so that a terminal end of the concave air communication path communicates with the concave notch portion of the rear plate.

A vehicle lighting assembly includes a light housing having a first part and a separate second part. A first light assembly provided in the first part includes a first lens having a first light pipe, a separate second lens having a second light pipe, first and second light sources for illuminating the first and second lens, a first reflector adjacent the first lens, and a second reflector adjacent the second lens. A second light assembly provided in the second part includes a third lens having a third light pipe, a separate fourth lens having a fourth light pipe, a third light source for illuminating the third and fourth lens, a third reflector adjacent the third lens and defining a first channel receiving a portion of the third lens, and a fourth reflector adjacent the fourth lens and defining a second channel receiving a portion of the fourth lens.

A vehicle lamp includes: a first light source; and a columnar first light guide. The first light guide includes an incidence surface on which light of the first light source is incident, a first part that extends from the incidence surface toward one side in a direction of vehicle width, a second part that extends from an end of the first part toward one side in the vertical direction, and a third part that extends from an end of the second part toward the other side in the direction of vehicle width.

A vehicle lamp assembly is provided herein. The lamp assembly includes a circuit board, a first light source configured to direct emitted light rearwardly of the housing, and a second light source configured to direct emitted light laterally outward from the housing disposed between a housing and a lens. A temperature sensor is operably coupled to the circuit board. The intensity of emitted light from the first or second light source is varied based on a detected temperature.

A system according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a seal having a compressible bulb to provide sealing between a vehicle flange and a moveable panel, and a channel formed in an exterior surface of the bulb. A light source is positioned within the channel to extend along a length of the seal. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, forming a seal to have a compressible bulb that has a channel formed in an exterior surface of the bulb, and installing a light cable within the channel to extend along a length of the seal.

The invention proposes a device and a method which make it possible to manage the light fluxes emitted respectively by fixed and mobile parts of a light device for a motor vehicle. It is noteworthy that the management of the light fluxes takes into account the relative position between the different parts of the light device.

A hatchback door includes a load-bearing inner panel made of composite plastic material, a plastic top outer panel glued on a top portion of the inner panel, and a plastic bottom outer panel glued on a bottom portion of the inner panel. The top panel includes a first layer of transparent plastic material and a second layer of opaque plastic material or opaque paint. The opaque layer covers only some of the transparent layer such that the top panel is transparent in a central part overlying a rear-window opening of the inner panel and in its peripheral portions that function as transparent elements for two lateral sets of lights and a third top set of lights. The light sets are without a front transparent element and are connected to a rear side of the top panel. The transparent peripheral portions constitute the front transparent elements of the light sets.

A rear part structure of a vehicle includes a lift gate; a light source device to be covered by the lift gate when the lift gate is closed; a lens member mounted in such a manner as to cover an opening portion in the lift gate, and configured to transmit light from the light source device when the lift gate is closed; at least one of a light source mounting portion for movably mounting the light source device with respect to a vehicle body, and a lens mounting portion for movably mounting the lens member with respect to the lift gate; and a positioning portion which causes, when the light source device and the lens member do not have a predetermined positional relationship therebetween, at least one of the light source device and the lens member to move into the predetermined positional relationship when the lift gate is closed.

A light arrangement includes two vehicle rear lamps and an illuminated decorative strip, which are aligned to each other both functionally and creatively. The decorative strip has a light outlet provided with a covering glass, under which an is optical fiber. The covering glass is provided on the outside with a translucent chromium foil and the base body of the decorative strip is chromium-plated on its surface. The optical fiber, the lighting source, the controller of the lighting light source, and the connections for the power supply are integrated into the base body of the decorative strip. Color selection can be adjusted by the controller of the lighting source so that the light and intensity of the color selection supplied to the optical fiber can be aligned with that of the rear lamps.
