  • Patent number: 8258704
    Abstract: A lighting system for vehicles includes a housing having a front panel and a back panel, a reflector positioned adjacent the back panel, a plurality of light sources positioned on sides of the housing transverse to the back panel, a lens positioned the plurality of light sources and the front panel, a faceplate having a transparent pattern is configured to couple to the housing adjacent the front panel, a controller coupled to the light sources having a first input configured to couple to a vehicle ignition switch and a second input configured to couple to an accessory switch, and a color mapping interface coupled to the controller and configured to receive at least one removable color chip. The controller detects at least one color signal from the at least one removable color chip and controls the plurality of light sources in response to the at least one detected color signal.

  • Patent number: 7867021
    Abstract: A vehicle power connection device that branches a single pair of connections to a vehicle's battery to provide power to a plurality of accessories. The device having a housing being made of an insulating material and possessing a plurality of pairs of power output sockets, each pair having both a positive member and a negative member in close proximity to each other. Each of the power wires of the accessories are individually secured into the sockets of the housing, in a manner so as to shield the un-insulated portion of the inserted wire from accidental contact with another electrically conducting member of the vehicle. The device also having a circuit protection mechanism to stop electrical communication between the vehicle and the accessory load if a circuit fault condition occurs. Various embodiments of the above are disclosed.
