Abstract
A vehicle headlamp assembly is provided herein. The headlamp assembly includes a housing including a transmissive portion on a first end and a reflector on an opposing end. The housing also defines an interior cavity. A first light source is configured to emit a first, lower intensity wavelength of light and a second, higher intensity wavelength of light and is disposed within the cavity. A second light source is configured to emit the first and the second wavelengths of light are also disposed within the cavity.
Claims20
A vehicle headlamp assembly comprising:
- a housing defining an interior cavity and including a light transmissive portion and a reflector, the housing defining an interior cavity;
- a first light source disposed within the cavity and configured to emit a first, lower intensity wavelength of light and a second, higher intensity wavelength of light;
- and
- a second light source disposed within the cavity and configured to emit the first and the second wavelengths of light.
A headlamp system for a vehicle comprising:
- a first headlamp housing defining a first cavity therein, wherein a plurality of multiple-beam light sources are disposed within the first cavity;
- a second headlamp housing defining a second cavity therein, wherein a plurality of multiple-beam light sources are disposed within the second cavity, the second housing on an opposing side of a vehicle centerline to the first housing;
- and
- a pair of reflectors disposed within each of the first and second housings configured to direct the light emitted from each light source in a desired beam pattern.
A headlamp assembly comprising:
- a housing defining first and second cavities, wherein the first cavity is disposed above the second cavity;
- a first light source configured to emit first and second intensities of light disposed within the first cavity;
- a second light source configured to emit first and second intensities of light disposed within the second cavity;
- and
- an electrical connector electrically coupled to a controller disposed within the vehicle for controlling an activation state of each light source in response to at least one vehicle-related condition.
