Abstract: A lamp has a lens having a front light exiting surface, three alignment portions extending from the lens, a substrate with a flexible material between the substrate the three alignment portions, the substrate having three apertures aligned with the three alignment portions; and a dual axis adjustment mechanism. The adjustment mechanism has three members, each member extending through a respective aperture in the substrate and attached to a respectively aligned alignment portion. The three members include a fixed member, a vertical adjustor fixedly attached to the alignment portion and movable with respect to the substrate and configured to adjust the lens with respect to the vertical axis, and a horizontal adjustor fixedly attached to the alignment portion and movable with respect to the substrate, the horizontal adjustor configured to adjust the lens with respect to the horizontal axis.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp includes a substrate, a lens having a pivotal attachment to the substrate and defining a lamp chamber between the lens and the substrate, at least one light source provided in the lamp chamber, an alignment portion integral with and extending from the lens parallel to the substrate and having an aperture, and an adjustment mechanism extending through the aperture and the substrate, the adjustment mechanism configured to adjust alignment of the lens with a single-point adjustment.

Abstract: A unitary multi-optic system for a vehicle having two or more co-molded individual optics molded from optical silicone such that each individual optic is adjacent at least one other individual optic, each individual optic configured to be illuminated with a respective radiation source. An optical-blocking barrier is integrally molded with the individual optics and configured to interfere with transmission of undesired source emissions between the two or more co-molded individual optics. The two or more co-molded individual optics are headlamps or tail lamps of the vehicle.

Abstract: A unitary silicone prescription optic has a molded silicone body comprising: a front surface configured as a light exit; an integral reflector configured to receive and reflect light from an LED light source; and an integral attachment portion configured to mount the molded silicone body within a housing. The unitary silicone prescription optic has many advantages over conventional optic systems.

Abstract: A vehicle headlamp assembly, comprising a lens, a lamp housing cooperating with the lens to at least partially define a lamp chamber that is generally fluidly isolated from an ambient atmosphere outside the lamp chamber, and at least one lamp provided in the lamp chamber. The lamp housing includes at least one structural member adapted to connect to and bear structural loads applied by one or more adjacent components of a vehicle in which the vehicle headlamp assembly is installed. The assembly may further comprise at least one vehicle component connected to the lamp housing, whereby the lamp housing is capable of bearing structural loads applied by the at least one component.

Abstract: A lamp assembly, comprising a lens, a lamp housing in the form of an integral metal part, the lamp housing cooperating with the lens to at least partially define a lamp chamber that is generally fluidly isolated from an ambient atmosphere outside the lamp chamber, and at least one lamp provided in the lamp chamber and carried by the lamp housing. The lamp housing itself defines a heat sink exposed to the ambient atmosphere outside the lamp chamber such that heat from the at least one lamp is transmitted to the ambient atmosphere.

Abstract: A vehicle structural assembly includes a main body portion defining first and second lamp housings. Each of the lamp housings including a lower wall, an inboard wall, an outboard wall and a rear wall. The rear wall is stepped to include first and second portions each defining a cylindrical opening. The lower, inboard, outboard and rear walls defining a lamp aperture. The vehicle structural assembly further includes first and second lamp assemblies disposed in the lamp apertures defined by the first and second lamp housings, respectively. Both of the lamp assemblies include a lamp module and a lens.

Abstract: A cowl assembly for a vehicle and its method of assembly includes providing first and second separable cowl parts 34, 36 adjustable between connection points on the vehicle and a latch mechanism 38 connects the first and second cowl parts for handling as a unit and for lateral adjustment of the length of the unit; and the first and second cowl parts respectively including first and second portions 62, 66 thereon configured to engage one another to providing relative movement between said first and second cowl parts for actuating the latch mechanism between locked and released positions in response to lateral adjustment of the cowl parts for connection to the vehicle.
