  • Publication number: 20170167680
    Abstract: A vehicle lighting assembly and method includes an LED light source mounted on a vehicle and a multi-tube condensing structure arranged to condense light from the LED light source. The multi-tube condensing structure has a first end face for receiving light from the LED light source and a second end face spaced apart from the first end face for dispersing the light received from the LED light source. The first end face has a first end face surface area and the second end face has a second end face surface area. The second end face surface area is less than the first end face surface area to thereby condense the light received from the LED light source.
