Abstract
According to an aspect of the present invention, lenses used for directing the light beams from lighting elements in a direct lighting vehicular lamp are constructed on an inner lens assembly that is separate from the lamp enclosure. Such a physical separation of the lens assembly and the lamp enclosure may permit complex profiles incorporating stylistic and aesthetic features to be chosen for the lamp enclosure, while maintaining ease of manufacturability.
