Vehicle exterior lighting systems with revealable fascia lamp assemblies

Vehicle exterior lighting systems may be equipped with fascia mounted lamp assemblies. The proposed systems are capable of controlling a fascia lamp assembly to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia and then produce various lighting effects based on sensed vehicle conditions. Exemplary fascia lamp assemblies may include a conductive lens that can be charged in order to reveal the lamp assembly within the vehicle fascia.

Automotive Light

An automotive light comprising a lighting assembly which is located inside the rear body, is adapted to backlight a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent sector of the front half-shell, and comprises: a pair of light-guide bars made of photoconductive material, which extend toward each other inside the rear body, while remaining both substantially grazing the front half-shell, and have their respective proximal ends adjacent and aligned to one another; and a pair of electrically-powered light sources that are located within the rear body each adjacent to the distal end of a respective light-guide bar, and are oriented so as to direct the light produced inside the body of the facing light-guide bar; the proximal ends of both light-guide bars being shaped so as to form respective plate-like heads that are locally substantially coplanar to each other and are arranged inside the rear body one spaced beside the other, so as to form/delimit therebetween a small transversal slot, which is substantially straight and is inclined with respect to the local longitudinal axis of the same light-guide bars.

LIGHT ASSEMBLY THAT EMITS A NARROW, UNATTENUATED LIGHT BEAM AND ATTENUATED LIGHT OVER BROAD ANGLES
20230213166 · 2023-07-06 · ·

A light assembly includes a housing, a light emitting diode (LED), and a hemispherical dome. The housing has a lens mounted thereon. The light LED is mounted within the housing and operable to emit light within a predetermined range of wavelengths and at an emission intensity toward the lens. The hemispherical dome mounted is within the housing between the LED and the lens. The hemispherical dome comprises a material that attenuates the emission intensity by a predetermined magnitude, and has an aperture formed therein and through which a portion of the light emitted from the LED may pass unattenuated.
