• a center body unit mounted on a vehicle body and disposed at a central part of a front of the vehicle body;
• a lens unit disposed on each of both sides of the center body unit;
• a light source unit positioned in the lens unit and selectively hidden behind or configured to radiate light to the lens unit;
• and
• a grill lens unit disposed between the center body unit and the lens unit and configured to provide grill lighting by transmitting the light radiated by the light source unit,
• wherein the lens unit comprises:
• a first lens unit exposed exteriorly on the vehicle body and configured to transmit the light radiated by the light source unit outside of the vehicle body;
• and
• a second lens unit which includes an opaque material disposed inside the first lens unit between the light source unit and the first lens unit and configured to cover at least a first portion of the inside of the first lens unit so that the light source unit is hidden by the opaque second lens unit from being viewed from outside of the vehicle body through the covered first portion of the first lens unit.

• a lens unit mounted on a vehicle body;
• and
• a light source unit positioned within the lens unit and selectively hidden behind or configured to radiate light to the lens unit,
• wherein the light source unit comprises:
• a light generation unit configured to generate light when power is applied thereto;
• a light connection unit combined with the light generation unit;
• a light rotation unit configured to rotate the light connection unit such that the light generation unit radiates the light to the lens unit;
• and
• a light cover unit mounted on an outside of the light generation unit and configured to rotate with the light generation unit into a closed position to cover a portion of the inside of the first lens unit so that the light generation unit is hidden by the light cover unit from being viewed from outside the vehicle body when the light generation unit is rotated by the light rotation unit into the closed position.
