An auxiliary lighting system for a three-wheeled motorcycle having a pair of rear wheels is disclosed, wherein the lighting system is affixed to a forward-facing portion and/or side portion of the rear fenders thereof.

A rear turn lamp has a structure formed of divided components, i.e., a first lamp unit provided to a fixed portion of a vehicle body and a second lamp unit provided to a movable portion of the vehicle body. The first lamp unit is provided with a controller. A first lighting circuit turns on multiple first light sources. A second lighting circuit turns on multiple second light sources.

A motorcycle including a motorcycle body having a front part, a tail part and a central part between the front part and the tail part front and rear wheels constrained to the motorcycle body (2,3,4), a traction engine constrained to the motorcycle body (2,3,4) and operatively connected to at least one of the wheels, at least one optical signalling device fixed to the motorcycle body arranged and oriented so as to be visible by a vehicle that is following the motorcycle, an electronic control unit of the optical signalling device operatively connected to the optical signalling device, an obstacle sensor fixed to the motorcycle body (2,3,4) and operatively connected to the electronic control unit, where the electronic control unit is adapted and configured to receive at least one output signal supplied by the obstacle sensor, verifying whether said output signal meets at least one logical activation condition and, in such case, turning on the optical signalling device to signal a risk of collision with the motorcycle to the vehicle which follows the motorcycle, and where the obstacle sensor is arranged and oriented so that the output signal supplied to the electronic control unit carries information correlated to the presence of obstacles placed in front of the motor cycle.

A U-turn indication system having a signal light retained in a housing integrally formed within a motor vehicle having a plurality of arrows positioned in a radiused orientation to alert surrounding drivers or pedestrians of a U-Turn procedure with a series of lights. This U-turn indication system is mechanically actuated by a switch located inside the interior of the motor vehicle while the signal indicator is located on at least one exterior surface of the motor vehicle. The U-turn indicator having light emitting units is positioned within a light housing of the motor vehicle and is configured to be visually located by pedestrians, drivers of oncoming vehicles, and/or drivers of approaching vehicles.

A lighting assembly for vehicles, having a number of light sources and light guide elements for generating different light functions, with a number of scattering optical elements assigned to the light exit side of the light guide elements for scattering the light. A headlamp lens is arranged at a distance in front of the light guide elements. The first light sources and the second light sources are arranged alternately in the direction of extension of the linear light signature. The scattering optical elements and/or the distance of the headlamp lens to the scattering optical elements and/or a distance in between adjacent first light sources running in the direction of extension are designed such that first light beams exiting in each case from the scattering optical elements assigned to the adjacent first light sources and adjacent in the direction of extension.

A system for implementing strobing of existing vehicle hazard lights including an interface to a vehicle wiring harness configured to receive input to an existing vehicle flasher module, and a strobing circuit that responds to an activation signal from the vehicle wiring harness that is indicative of a hazard flasher deployment event by producing an electrical output through the interface to the vehicle wiring harness that causes a strobing of existing vehicle hazard lamps.
