  • Turn lamp for vehicle outside mirror
    Patent number: 9121567
    Abstract: While a light source is arranged on the back side of a light guide lens, light beams can be emitted from the light source with respective optical axes directed in one direction and be guided toward opposite ends of the light guide lens. A light source and a reflective surface are arranged on the back side of a light guide lens. The light source emits light beams with respective optical axes directed in one direction. One of the light beams obliquely enters the light guide lens toward one end in a long direction of the light guide lens without being reflected by the reflective surface. Another one of the light beams is reflected by the reflective surface and obliquely enters the light guide lens toward another end in the long direction of the light guide lens.
