Vehicular lamp system for automotive vehicle

A vehicular lamp system, comprising:

• at least a pair of rightward and leftward first reflectors, each of the first reflectors being disposed on ahead of a vehicle, being equipped with a light source, and being enabled to be driven to deflect a reflection direction of a light beam from the light source toward a vehicular turn direction together with the light source;
• at least a pair of rightward and leftward second reflectors, each of the second reflectors being enabled to be driven to deflect the reflection direction thereof toward the vehicular turn direction independently of the pair of the rightward and leftward first reflectors;
• a driving section that operatively performs a deflection drive for the pairs of the rightward and leftward first reflectors and second reflectors;
• a vehicular velocity detector to detect a vehicular velocity of the vehicle;
• a steering angle detector to detect a vehicular steering angle of the vehicle;
• and
• a controller to determine whether the detected vehicular velocity falls in a predetermined middle velocity range and to control the driving section on the basis of the detected vehicular velocity and steering angle in such a manner that one of the pair of the rightward and leftward first reflectors which is placed on an inside of a vehicular turn direction with respect to a center of a circle of turn is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the detected steering angle when determining that the detected vehicular velocity falls in the predetermined middle velocity range.

A vehicular light system, comprising:

• first reflecting means, disposed on a head of a vehicle, equipped with a light source, and enabled to be driven to deflect a reflection direction of a light beam from the light source toward a vehicular turn direction together with the light source;
• second reflecting means enabled to be driven to deflect the reflection direction thereof toward the vehicular turn direction independently of the first reflecting means;
• driving means for operatively performing a deflection drive for the first and second reflecting means;
• vehicular velocity detecting means for detecting a vehicular velocity of the vehicle;
• steering angle detecting means for detecting a vehicular steering angle of the vehicle;
• and
• controlling means for determining whether the detected vehicular velocity falls in a predetermined middle velocity range and for controlling the driving means on the basis of the detected vehicular velocity and steering angle in such a manner that the second reflector is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the detected steering angle when determining that the detected vehicular velocity is lower than the predetermined middle velocity range and in such a manner that the first reflector is deflected toward the vehicular turn direction according to the steering angle when determining that the detected vehicular velocity is higher than the predetermined middle velocity range.
