  • Patent number: 7619511
    Abstract: A vehicular light control system for controlling the illumination of a vehicle's external directional/turn signaling and/or hazard warning lights, by controlling continuous illumination of pairs of the brightest signal filaments of either dual or single filament bulb designed vehicles, where such bulbs were previously flash only and underutilized. The system operates to control the brightest filaments when the operator wishes to draw attention to the vehicle for safety, or for visibility and utility purposes, without the same system negatively affecting normal operation of existing turn signal/hazard warning systems.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7482756
    Abstract: A vehicular lighting control system for controlling the illumination of a vehicle's external directional/turn signaling and/or hazard lighting, by controlling continuous illumination of pairs of the brightest filaments of single or dual filament bulb designed vehicles. The system controls to operate the brightest filaments when the operator wishes to draw attention to the vehicle for safety, or for visibility purposes, without the same system negatively affecting normal operation of existing turn signal/hazard warning systems. The system automatically and manually controls the light output as desired by the vehicle operator, incorporates the vehicle's internal turn signal bulb-failure indication subsystem to continuously monitor the target bulbs for any failure event, and employs a dynamic safety reconnect feature, an attribute which reconnects factory wiring with factory bulbs instantaneously with any signaling or hazards activation.

  • Patent number: 7019463
    Abstract: A daytime running light module for controlling the illumination of dual filament bulbs that act as vehicle parking lights and turn lights. The daytime running light module includes a pair of switches that are interconnected between the front vehicular lights and a power source to control the light emitted from the vehicular lights of the vehicle. The module operates to control when each filament of the two filament bulb or system is illuminated, such that the brighter filament of the bulb will be illuminated when the operator wishes to draw attention to the vehicle for safety purposes. The module may either automatically or manually control the light output as desired by the operator.
