  • Patent number: 9416935
    Abstract: A vehicle direction indicator light includes a light source and a light emitting body. The light emitting body guides light to the outside of the vehicle, and includes an outer emitting surface facing the outside of the vehicle, an inner emitting surface facing the inside of the vehicle, and a tip surface connecting the inner and outer emitting surfaces and facing a front or rear side of the vehicle. The outer emitting surface has a step shape in which a first surface portion that faces the outside of the vehicle and a second surface portion that faces the front side or the rear side of the vehicle are alternatingly connected to each other in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. Light emitted through the second surface portion and the tip surface has a higher intensity than the light emitted through the first surface portion.
