Abstract: A vehicle lamp assembly comprises a light source and a light transmitting member carrying a plurality of strips formed of a light absorbing material. Baffle elements, formed of transparent material and each having an opaque coating on one of its side faces, extend perpendicular to the surface of the light transmitting member towards the light source. Each baffle element is aligned with a respective one of the parallel strips. Lens means are arranged to concentrate light from the light source between adjacent strips and a color filter is located between the light source and the baffle elements.
