Cornering light device for a vehicle projection module and vehicle light system comprising at least one such cornering light device

Abstract

A cornering light device for a vehicle projection module is presented, the cornering light device comprising: a light source for emitting a light beam; at least one narrowing device for narrowing the light beam; and a guide element having a light emitting section at a first end and an output section at a second end, the guide element guiding the light beam from the light emitting section in the direction of the output section; wherein the second end comprises a deflection surface for at least partly deflecting the light beam guided by the guide element; an output surface through which the light beam can exit the cornering light; wherein the cornering light device is configured for attachment to a control unit, with at least one characteristic of the light beam being controllable by the control unit. The cornering light device is characterized in that it is configured for attachment to the control unit that controls at least one of the main vehicle headlights in addition to the at least one characteristic of the light beam. Furthermore, a vehicle light system comprising at least one cornering light device is presented, the system further comprising: a control unit; and at least one vehicle headlight module; wherein the control unit is configured for controlling at least one characteristic of the light beam projected by the cornering light device as well as at least one characteristic of the light projected by the at least one main vehicle headlight.
