Description

FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a left vehicle headlight (as viewed from the front of the vehicle), the outer lens having been rendered opaque using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the outer curvature. Some small feature lines on the inner surface of the lens are not visible in this rendering. Only the left vehicle headlight is illustrated (the right vehicle headlight is a mirror of the left and is not illustrated but nonetheless covered by this patent);

FIG. 2 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle headlight;

FIG. 3 is a front elevational view of the left vehicle headlight with the lens removed to illustrate the reflector housing. The reflector housing has three reflective surfaces. Bulbs and bulb reflectors (not illustrated) are positioned in each reflective surface. The reflector housing is normally visible because the lens is transparent;

FIG. 4 is a left side elevation view of the vehicle headlight with the lens removed to illustrate the reflector housing;

FIG. 5 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle headlight;

FIG. 6 is a top down plan view of the vehicle headlight; and,

FIG. 7 is bottom up plan view of the vehicle headlight.
