Abstract: A method and apparatus for an adaptable vehicle light fixture is provided to activate varying light distribution patterns based upon preconfigured operation of trigger and/or power wires. One or more trigger and/or power wires connected to one or more vehicle light fixtures are preconfigured through wired and/or wireless programming to generate specified light distribution patterns that are responsive to the preconfigurations during manual operation. Wireless preconfiguration includes the use of a handheld magnetic device or smartphone. Wired preconfiguration includes the use of a vehicle-based controller area network (CAN) bus. Any preconfigured operation may be changed at any time by the user by programmably changing the preconfiguration.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for an adaptable vehicle light mount is provided. A recess created within an interior of a heat sink fin array of the vehicle light allows associated mounting hardware to be embedded within the recess. A physical offset between the vehicle light and the associated vehicle may therefore be minimized to provide a shallower mounting profile. A tube may be incorporated into the recess so as to allow one or more vehicle lights to be mounted to a single mount point on a vehicle where the tube and associated mounting hardware are incorporated and function as part of the heat reducing components of the vehicle light.
