A light system comprising: (a) a plurality of light sources connected to a vehicle and creating light that radiates away from the vehicle so that the light substantially surrounds the vehicle; and (b) one or more sensors that detect light from another light source; and wherein one or more of the plurality of light sources are turned off in a direction of the another light source while some of the plurality of light sources remain on so that a tunnel having a reduction or absence of light is formed in the direction of the another light source between the plurality of light sources that remain on.

A vehicle light fixture include a first light distribution illuminator that emits a first light distribution to the front of a vehicle, and a second light distribution illuminator that emits a second light distribution having a light-dark boundary line at least on a side of the vehicle, wherein illumination of the first light distribution illuminator and the second light distribution illuminator is controlled in response to a predetermined operation of the first light distribution illuminator by the driver of the vehicle. The second light distribution illuminator includes a light source, and a projection lens that projects light emitted from the light source to form an illumination pattern surrounded by multiple light-dark boundary lines and emit the illumination pattern to a side of the vehicle, and the projection lens focuses more of the light emitted from the light source passing outwardly from the optical axis of the projection lens.

An apparatus for controlling an intelligent headlamp may include: a capturing unit configured to capture a forward image of a vehicle; a lamp driving unit configured to independently drive LEDs of a headlamp configured as a matrix LED; a storage unit configured to store an initial origin point, a changed origin point and an offset for adjusting the position of the headlamp; and a control unit configured to control the lamp driving unit to turn on the headlamp, detect an origin point from the forward image inputted from the capturing unit, set the offset for adjusting the position of the headlamp by comparing the detected origin point to the initial origin point or the changed origin point stored in the storage unit, and store a changed origin point, newly set based on the detected origin point, and the offset in the storage unit.

A method and apparatus provide a light module that includes a plurality of optical functions supported by a single housing. The method and apparatus further adjusts aiming of all optical functions of the light module in multiple directions when needed.

A vehicle lamp is provided with an upper light source and a lower light source spaced apart from the upper light source in a height direction. A reflector has a central optical axis extending a forward direction and oriented between the upper and lower light source. The reflector has first and second arrays of reflective surfaces. The first array of first reflective surfaces reflects light emitted from the upper light source in a first light pattern in the direction of the central optical axis. The second array of second reflective surfaces reflecting light emitted from the lower light source in a second light pattern in the direction of the central optical axis. At least one of the first reflective surfaces is oriented between two second reflective surfaces in the height direction.

A light system a base that is configured to connect to a vehicle; a light layer that is movable into the base in a closed configuration and out of the base in an open configuration; and a cap located above the base and the light layer, the cap enclosing the light layer within the base when the light system is in the closed configuration.
