  • Patent number: 11572996
    Abstract: A vehicle lamp assembly includes an LED disposed on a circuit board, a light collimator operatively coupled to the LED to generate a beam of collimated light, a light pipe operatively coupled to light collimator to transmit the collimated beam of light, and a hybrid optic lens operatively coupled to the light pipe to diverge the collimated beam of light into a beam pattern. The hybrid optic lens includes a plurality of curved lenses for outputting light in a first direction, a first prism lens formed on a lower portion of the curved lenses for directing light downward in a second direction, and a second prism lens provided on a lateral side of curved lenses for directing light sideways in a third direction. An enhanced light illumination with uniform lighting pattern in the trailer hitch target region is achieved for operation of a trailer with the vehicle.
