A first light source is coupled to each of the support racks and is disposed to downwardly project a light beam across a hood of the vehicle. A second light source is coupled to each of the support racks and is disposed to downwardly project a light beam to illuminate a corresponding ground area proximate a corner of the vehicle. A third light source is coupled to each of the support racks and is disposed to downwardly project a light beam to illuminate a corresponding ground area proximate a door of the vehicle.

A vehicle includes a light assembly and an electric control module. The light assembly is assembled to an underbody of the vehicle. The light assembly has a light bar and an image projector. The light bar has a plurality of first light sources. The image projector has a housing that is fitted to a longitudinal end of the light bar. The housing has a circuit board and an emitting portion that houses a second light source. The circuit board is electrically connected to the second light source to regulate electric current to the light source. The electric control module is electrically connected to the light bar and the circuit board to provide electrical power to both the light bar and the image projector.

A display system suitable for a vehicle is provided. The display system suitable for the vehicle includes a center console, a processing device, and a display device. The center console is configured to generate a power sequence according to a customization setting, and the power sequence corresponds to content of a data table. The processing device is configured to receive the power sequence and decodes the power sequence through a lookup table to generate a decoding result. The lookup table includes the content of the data table. The display device is coupled to the processing device and is configured to display a display image according to the decoding result.

A wireless doorsill plate with changeable display information and power-saving mechanism includes a baseplate, a battery module, a radio frequency module, a display module and an energy-saving module. A circuit board is provided on the baseplate, the battery module is disposed on the baseplate and electrically connected to the circuit board, and the battery module is used to generate an electric power. The radio frequency module is disposed on the circuit board and used to receive an activation signal to generate a wireless signal. The display module is assembled on the circuit board and has a backlight unit connected to the battery module. The energy-saving module is disposed on the circuit board and electrically connected to the battery module. According to the wireless signal the energy-saving module reduces the electric power generated by the battery module in order to turn on the backlight unit.

A school bus having a pedestrian lighting system includes bus entrance door lamps that illuminate an area adjacent to the entrance door of the bus. Switch logic circuitry is connected to and controls bus door entrance lamp circuitry that provides power to the bus entrance door lamps. A power cutoff noise suppression switch, which otherwise functions to turn off noise generating devices in the bus when stopping for a railroad crossing, is connected to the switch logic circuitry or to delayed deactivation timer circuitry. The power cutoff noise suppression switch and the switch logic circuitry or the delayed deactivation timer circuitry are configured so that input of the switch logic circuitry to the bus door entrance lamp circuitry is overridden, and the at least one bus entrance door lamp is turned off, when the power cutoff noise suppression switch is activated.

Floor projection device for a motor vehicle for producing at least one floor projection, wherein the floor projection device has an illuminant and a projection means, wherein the illuminant is configured to generate and at least partially emit light onto the projection means, wherein the projection means is configured to project the light which is emitted by the illuminant onto the projection means, in a state of the floor projection device integrated into the motor vehicle, onto a carriageway as a floor projection to the side of the motor vehicle, wherein the floor projection comprises at least two light segments separated from one another, wherein the illuminant has for this purpose at least two individually controllable light sources, wherein each light segment is assigned at least one light source, wherein the projection means has a focal point or a focal line, wherein at least one of the at least two light sources is arranged offset relative to the focal point or focal line of the projection means, wherein a first portion of the light is emitted along a first beam direction, which is directed directly onto the projection means, wherein a second portion of the light is emitted in a second beam direction, which is not directed directly onto the projection means, wherein the floor projection device has absorption means and/or deflection means, which are configured to at least partially absorb and/or deflect the second portion of the light such that the second portion of the light does not reach the projection means.

A tailgate assembly including at least two tailgate panels that both move between a closed position, a plurality of intermediate open positions, and a fully open position, where the tailgate panels selectively separate and articulate from the back of the cargo bed to the sides of the cargo bed. The tailgate panels move out of the way to provide direct access to the cargo area floor. The tailgate panels articulate in a small envelope of space, improving access to the rear in a confined space at the rear of the vehicle and reducing the risk of contacting objects that may be behind the vehicle.

A light emitting system includes at least one light pipe, at least one light source disposed at least partially within an interior of the system, at least one mask, and a lens substantially enclosing the interior of the system, the at least one light pipe, and the at least one light source, the lens having an inner surface, an outer surface disposed opposite the inner surface and at least one of a continuous transparent or translucent coating on the outer surface.
