Configurable lighting system with shared lens and first and second internal optics forming a first and second module configuration for providing two different lighting functions

A lighting module system that is on a vehicle comprising:

• an actuator connected to internal optics configured to move the internal optics between a first position and a second position;
• a shared lens configured to provide a first light pattern for a first lighting function and
• a second light pattern for a second lighting function, the shared lens comprising a reference through a mounting axis that is configured to mount the shared lens;
• the internal optics that are configured to direct light toward the shared lens to provide the first light pattern of the first lighting function in the first position and to direct light toward the shared lens to provide the second light pattern of the second lighting function in the second position;
• and
• a coupling system that is configured to join the shared lens with the internal optics and that provide a first lighting function in the first position and a second lighting function in the second positon when viewed along the mounting axis of the shared lens, and
• wherein a first direction of the first light pattern is offset from a second direction of the second light pattern by an offset angle along a horizon direction substantially perpendicular to said reference axis.

A lighting module system of a vehicle comprising:

• an actuator connected to internal optics configured to move the internal optics between a first position and a second position;
• a shared lens that is optically configured to a first light pattern providing a first lighting function and a second light pattern providing a second lighting function;
• the internal optics configured to direct light toward the shared lens resulting in the first light pattern in the first positon and the second light pattern in the second position, where the first and second light patterns are each respectively associated with a first and a second lighting function;
• and
• a coupling system that is configured to join the shared lens with the internal optics and wherein said shared lens appears the same between a number of vehicle models;
• a light source configured to provide the first light pattern in the first position and the second light pattern in the second positon,
• where the first position and the second position are offset from one another by an offset distance X from a reference axis and an offset distance Y that is perpendicular to a direction of said offset distance X.
