Ventilated motor vehicle lighting device
A motor vehicle lighting device has a housing and a cover plate covering a light exit hole in the housing, at least one ventilation intake opening and at least one air discharge opening, wherein an air guidance structure is disposed on the outside of the ventilation intake opening. The air guidance structure acts to deflect air that flows along the outside of the lighting device as a result of the effect of wind caused by driving, into an interior of the lighting device.
Head section for a rear view device
A head section for a rear view device for a motor vehicle includes a casing means including at least one housing section and a lid section arranged on a side of the housing section which faces away from a driving direction of the motor vehicle, at least one electronic unit arranged in a hollow area formed between the housing section and the lid section, a first rear view means for displaying an area of the motor vehicle, and a second rear view means for displaying a second area of the motor vehicle, where the second rear view means is arranged on the lid section, with the lid section and the second rear view means includes a combined, single-piece component, and where the lid section includes a polymeric substrate, which is coated with a chromium-based reflective coating.
