  • Patent number: 10214140
    Abstract: An elongate automotive illumination assembly includes an elongate housing; at least one light source; an elongate lens having an apex region and a pair of spaced-apart blade portions. The spaced-apart blade portions extend away from the apex region to define a generally V-shaped cross-section with the apex region including an elongate light emitting surface. The blade portions connect to the elongate housing to define an enclosure. An elongate light guide guides light from the at least one light source to the elongate light emitting surface. The elongate light guide includes a body extending away from the light source(s) towards the elongate light emitting surface. The light guide is housed within the enclosure and between the blades of the lens such that the light emitting surface of the light guide is adjacent to the light emitting surface of the lens.
