Headlamp structure

A headlamp structure, comprising:

• a contoured reflector panel having an inboard side, an outboard side, and a top side, a forward-facing surface and a reflex supporting portion having a front end, the forward-facing surface having a plurality of reflector surface portions extending downwardly from the top side of the contoured reflector panel, each of the plurality of reflector surface portions having a forward end, each of the forward ends of the plurality of reflector surface portions being offset from one another and the front end of the reflex supporting portion relative to a vehicle longitudinal direction such that the forward end of a first reflector surface portion is rearward of the front end by a first distance, the forward end of a second reflector surface portion is rearward of the front end by a second distance greater than the first distance and the forward end of a third reflector surface portion is rearward of the front end by a third distance greater than the first and second distances, and the reflex supporting portion extending forward from the inboard side inboard of the plurality of reflector surface portions;
• a passive reflector fixedly attached to the reflex supporting portion with a reflector surface of the passive reflector facing an outboard direction;
• and
• a plurality of light emitting elements located proximate respective upper ends of corresponding ones of the plurality of reflector surface portions, the plurality of light emitting elements emitting light to the corresponding one of the plurality of reflector surface portions, with each of the plurality of reflector surface portions being shaped and configured to reflect light from the corresponding one of the plurality of light emitting elements and aim the reflected light to project in a forward direction parallel to the reflector surface of the passive reflector, and, the reflector surface of the passive reflector being configured and oriented such that at least a portion of light approaching the reflector surface of the passive reflector from outboard of the outboard side of the contoured reflector panel is reflected back in the outboard direction.
