Headlamp Assembly with Heat Sink Structure

A headlamp assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

• a housing for coupling the headlamp assembly to a vehicle, the housing including an inner surface defined by a reflector;
• a heat sink structure having a first surface, a second surface, a first edge and a second edge, the second edge directly abutting an inner surface of the housing, wherein the heat sink structure is adapted to separate the housing into first and second sections;
• a circuit board;
• a first light emitting diode having an optical axis perpendicular to the first surface of the heat sink structure and being electrically connected to the circuit board;
• a second light emitting diode having an optical axis perpendicular to the second surface of the heat sink structure and being electrically connected to the circuit board;
• and
• wherein illumination of the first light emitting diode assembly results in a low beam, and wherein illumination of both the first light emitting diode assembly and the second light emitting diode assembly results in a high beam.

A headlamp assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

• a housing for coupling the headlamp assembly to a vehicle, the housing including a reflector;
• a heat sink structure having a first surface and a second surface, a first edge and a second edge, the second edge directly contacting an inner surface of the housing for a majority of the housing abutting edge such that the housing is separated into first and second sections by the heat sink structure;
• a circuit board;
• a first light emitting diode assembly and a second light emitting diode assembly, each light emitting diode assembly being electrically connected to the circuit board;
• and
• wherein the headlamp assembly is adapted to emit a low beam when one of the first or second light emitting diode assemblies is activated and adapted to emit a high beam when both of the first and second light emitting diode assemblies are activated.
