  • Illuminating device for vehicle
    Publication number: 20050068785
    Abstract: An illuminating device is installed at an outer side surface of a rear side door of a vehicle for illuminating a road surface section beside a front side door of the vehicle. The device is accommodated in a rear side molding secured to the outer side surface of the rear side door. The light source of the illuminating device radiates light along a linear optical path extending diagonally downward from a portion of the outer side surface of the rear side door in which the light source is installed to the road surface section beside the front side door. Further, the illuminating device includes a prism lens for refracting the light of the light source outwardly and away from the outer side surface of the vehicle body. This enables the device to effectively illuminate the road surface section beside the vehicle.
