Method and apparatus for vehicular light fixtures

A terrain viewing apparatus coupled to a vehicle, comprising:

• a housing;
• a lighting apparatus coupled on a first side of the housing;
• a first operational group of LEDs configured on the lighting apparatus to emit light into a first direction substantially forwardly of the vehicle;
• a second operational group of LEDs configured on the lighting apparatus to emit light into a second direction substantially non-forwardly of the vehicle;
• and
• a reflecting apparatus coupled on a second side of the housing and connected to the housing by a first joint
• a mounting apparatus coupled to the housing;
• a second joint between the housing and the mounting apparatus and configured to enable movement of the housing and lighting apparatus with respect to the mounting apparatus;
• wherein the second joint include a first element, a second element, and a third element, wherein the first element is rotatable with respect to the third element about a first axis, and wherein the second element is rotatable with respect to the third element about a second axis non-linear with the first axis to enable yaw and roll rotation of the housing with respect to the mounting apparatus.

A terrain viewing apparatus, comprising

• a lighting apparatus on a first side of the housing;
• a reflecting apparatus on a second side of the housing and connected to the housing by a first joint;
• a mounting apparatus coupled to the housing, the mounting apparatus configured to mount on a vehicle;
• and
• a second joint coupled between the housing and the mounting apparatus and configured to enable movement of the housing and lighting apparatus with respect to the mounting apparatus;
• wherein the first joint is configured to enable movement of the reflecting apparatus independently of the housing and lighting apparatus;
• and
• wherein the second joint has a first cam surface affixed to the housing which contacts a second cam affixed to the mounting apparatus and the first and second cam surfaces are spherical and enable rotation of the housing and lighting apparatus in three rotational degrees of freedom relative to the mounting apparatus.
