Abstract: Lamp assemblies and methods are provided for controlling one or more operating parameters of at least one controllable aftermarket light source of a vehicle. One example lamp assembly includes an aftermarket light source and a controller. The controller includes a storage medium configured to store a defined sequence and an operating variable. The controller is configured to capture an input signal sequence via at least one factory input device in the vehicle, determine whether the input signal sequence corresponds to the defined sequence, capture an input control signal via at least one factory input device in the vehicle, and in response to determining the input signal sequence corresponds to the defined sequence, modify the operating variable based on the input control signal. The operating variable is associated with an operating parameter of the aftermarket light source.

Abstract: A lamp includes a housing, a lens module and bezel. The lens module has one or more integrally formed lens units. Each lens unit has an emission surface and a light gathering portion. The light gathering portion includes an incident surface. Each lens unit has a solid light-path portion formed from the light transmitting material and disposed between the incident and emission surfaces. The emission surface of each lens unit is a portion of the outer surface of the module. The lamp includes one or more light sources, each projecting light to the incident surface of a lens unit. The lamp excludes any reflecting structures directing light to the incident surface of a lens unit. The sealing bezel seals the lens module to the housing. When sealed, the lamp includes no other light-transmitting structures external to the outer surface of the lens module.

Abstract: An integrally formed food plate such as used for picnics or the like and includes integrally attached utensils therewith in combination. The utensils when manually manipulated are easily detached for use. However, the utensils each further include novel pinholes that allow for re-attachment onto the food plate when not in use. Furthermore, the utensils may be standard such as in the form of a spoon, a knife and a fork, or as an alternative the utensils may be in the form of chopsticks. Another option is to include a toothpick that is integrally formed with the food plate yet is also detachable as well.
