Universal daytime running lamp for automotive vehicles

A lamp for a road vehicle, comprising:

• a reflector with a reflective surface for reflecting light in a general direction of illumination, the reflector comprising rectangular portions, each rectangular portion being curved, wherein edges of each rectangular portion are coupled to edges of adjacent rectangular portions to form an N×M matrix of the rectangular portions, where N and M are each greater than one,
• wherein different rows of the rectangular portions are tilted at progressively different angles, and
• wherein each reflector portion has a reflective surface that is asymmetrically curved, such that the general direction of illumination forms an acute angle with a first horizontal direction along the reflector;
• and
• a plurality of light sources arranged in a pattern having an extension along a horizontal axis and being arranged to emit light onto the reflective surface, wherein light emitted by the plurality of light sources has directional components in two opposite horizontal directions along the horizontal axis and a directional component in a vertical direction perpendicular to the horizontal axis, wherein
• the reflective surface reflects the directional component in the vertical direction of the emitted light towards the general direction of illumination.
