Lighting assembly for a vehicle and method for producing a lighting assembly

A lighting assembly for a vehicle, the lighting assembly comprising:

• a housing;
• a light source disposed in said housing and configured to emit light, said light source including a first light source and a second light source;
• an outer lens coupled to said housing, said outer lens having a transmission portion thereof positioned to receive light emitted from said light source and to transmit the light to an outside of said housing;
• a black mask member disposed between said light source and a portion of said outer lens, said black mask member at least partially surrounding said transmission portion of said outer lens thereby defining a sharp and clear boundary between a light-emitting portion of the lighting assembly and an opaque and non-light-emitting, masked peripheral portion of the lighting assembly, wherein:
• said transmission portion of said outer lens has an inner surface formed, at least in a part of said inner surface, with an integrally formed surface texture configured to diffusively transmit the light received from said light source;
• said outer lens includes a first outer lens corresponding to said first light source and a second outer lens corresponding to said second light source;
• each of said first outer lens and said second outer lens being transparent for light emitted from said respective first light source and said second light source in an outward direction;
• said first outer lens and said second outer lens being spaced apart from one another by a separation gap;
• each said first outer lens and said second outer lens having an inwardly extending lens portion that extends in an inward direction on a respective side of said separation gap;
• and
• said inwardly extending lens portions having inner surfaces formed with said surface texture.
