LIGHTING SYSTEM AND SENSOR SYSTEM
A light source (14) is configured to emit light for lighting a predetermined area. A LiDAR sensor (15) is configured to sense information of an outside of a vehicle. A first screw mechanism (16) is configured to adjust posture of the light source (14). A second screw mechanism (17) is configured to adjust posture of the LiDAR sensor (15). Adjustment by one of the first screw mechanism (16) and the second screw mechanism (17) is performed on the basis of adjustment that has been performed by the other one of the first screw mechanism (16) and the second screw mechanism (17).
Synchronized lamp adjuster
A synchronized lamp adjuster assembly allows for adjustment of vehicle lamp assemblies that can be adjusted synchronously or by using the same adjuster assembly. Two or more adjuster assemblies are connected together by at least one shaft drive assembly having a shaft drive head that interacts with an input shaft for the adjuster assemblies. Rotation of the shaft drive head causes rotation of input shaft and adjuster assembly thus causing adjustment of the lamp assemblies.
Vehicle lamp device having adjustable light emitting surface
A lamp device for a vehicle includes a lamp housing and a light-emitting unit disposed therein. The light-emitting unit includes a light-emitting surface adjustable in at least one of a shape, an intensity of illumination, or a color of illumination. The lamp device further includes a bracket that supports the light-emitting unit to be mounted in the lamp housing, and that is configured to change the shape of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit. The lamp device further includes a driving unit configured to apply a driving force to the bracket that changes the shape of the light-emitting surface of the light-emitting unit. The lamp device is configured to at least partially change, based on a plurality of lighting modes, at least one of the shape of the light-emitting surface, the intensity of illumination emitted from the light-emitting surface, or the color of illumination emitted from the light-emitting surface.

ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM FOR OPTICAL ASSEMBLIES DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR MOTOR VEHICLE HEADLIGHTS
The adjustment system comprises at least one pair of adjustment apparatuses. For each optical assembly, one adjustment apparatus is adapted to turn the optical assembly around the turning axis (?; ?) independently of the other optical assembly. The adjustment system further comprises an additional adjustment apparatus connected to a first adjustment apparatus and adapted to transfer its movement to the movement of this adjustment apparatus; and a connecting member connected to the additional adjustment apparatus and to a second adjustment apparatus at the same time, and adapted to transfer the movement of the additional adjustment apparatus to the movement of the second adjustment apparatus (. If the additional adjustment apparatus is connected to the first adjustment apparatus and the connecting member is connected between the additional adjustment apparatus and the second adjustment apparatus, turning movement of one optical assembly will automatically induce a turning movement of the other optical assembly.

Vehicle lamp
Provided is a vehicle lamp including an operation unit configured to operate an optical axis adjustment bevel gear provided in a lamp to be axially rotated. An axial rotation force transfer body of the operation unit includes an operation rod operated to be axially rotated, a driving rod engaged with the gear, and a wire interconnecting the operation rod and the driving rod in an axial rotation direction, and the driving rod is formed of a metal which is hard to rust. The driving rod is formed by a metal/injection/molding (MIM) technique. A support member extends between the driving rod and the lamp.
