Claims11
An illumination assembly for a vehicle, comprising:
- a backup camera lamp (BCL), wherein the BCL comprises:
- a first light source;
- a first collimator adapted to receive light from the first light source, the first collimator having a collimator output exit boundary;
- and
- an optical wedge, wherein the first collimator is positioned between the first light source and the optical wedge, the optical wedge having a light receiving surface, a light reflecting side, and a light transmitting surface, wherein the collimator output exit boundary is coincident with at least a portion of the light receiving surface, and wherein the light transmitting surface is configured to allow passage of the light from the first light source therethrough;
- and
- a license plate lamp (LPL), wherein the LPL comprises:
- a second light source;
- a second collimator adapted to receive light from the second light source;
- and
- a lens, wherein the second collimator is positioned between the second light source and the lens.
