Abstract: A vehicle light has a heating element and a radiator vent that creates and distributes heated air inside the vehicle light. This prevents fog buildup on the inside of the light in cold and wet weather, allowing for more efficient and therefore safer lights for vehicles. A series of ceramic heating elements is arrayed in front of individual spines of a radiator vent. As each ceramic heating element receives electricity from the vehicle, its surface heats up. Air is blown past the heating elements and directed through the radiator vent by two or more blower motors. A temperature sensor regulates the amount of electricity that is sent to each ceramic element.

Abstract: A light assembly includes a laser light emitting diode for emitting a light beam along an axis and a diffusing assembly for deflecting the light beam substantially 360 degrees around the axis. The diffusing assembly includes a light diffuser for receiving and scattering a light beam emitted from the diode, a phosphor tube for further scattering the light emitted from the diffuser, and a mirror for returning any light with is not deflected radially through the phosphor tube back into the phosphor tube. The deflector has a reflective end surface to allow the light repeated passes thorough the phosphor tube until it escapes radially through the tube.

Abstract: A vehicle light assembly includes auxiliary lighting. The auxiliary light includes a base that may comprise a circuit board and a heat sink material. A series of auxiliary lights, such as LEDs, are attached to the base. A fastener extends through a mounting hole in the base to attach the base to the vehicle lighting shroud or trim. The auxiliary lights may be in an annular array, typically called a halo, or in numerous other linear or geometric shapes.
