A vehicle, comprising:
- a body;
- a light source fixed to said body;
- means for transmitting the light generated, in use, by said source, configured to transmit a plurality of sixth light rays at an output thereof;
- said sixth light rays being inclined with respect to an axis parallel to a normal direction or advancement of the vehicle;
- a removable lighting assembly for the vehicle, the removable lighting assembly comprising:
- a frame removably mounted on said body;
- at least one first lens configured to refract, in use, at least a first light ray incident thereon outside said lighting assembly, the at least one first lens moveably attached to the frame;
- and
- an optical assembly configured to deflect, in use, at least a second light ray from a source arranged, in use, outside said frame and to generate said first light ray;
- wherein said first lens and said optical assembly are attached to said frame;
- wherein the optical assembly includes a first optical element and a second optical element, the first optical element positioned to receive the second light ray and emit a fourth light ray, the second optical element positioned between the first lens and the first optical element and to receive the fourth light ray, the first optical element is non-moveably fixed to the frame and the second optical element is moveably attached to the frame;
- and
- wherein the light source and means for transmitting light are arranged outside said frame and fixed to said body;
- and
- said first lens and said optical assembly being decoupled from said transmission means.
