Abstract:
1. A headlamp fixture, comprising: one or more modular semiconductor light source assemblies for producing a spread portion of a desired beam pattern, wherein the one or more modular semiconductor light source assemblies are positioned such that each lens of the one or more modular semiconductor light source assemblies is angled horizontally to spread the light of said spread portion of said desired beam pattern to different areas surrounding a vehicle; a projector light source, operably associated with the one or more modular semiconductor light source assemblies for producing a high-intensity portion of said desired beam pattern; and each of said one or more modular semiconductor light sources including a lens having a general D-shape used in conjunction with a light pipe having a first end and a second end, the second end of the light pipe engaging the lens such that the light emitted by said one or more modular semiconductor light sources is emitted from the lens in a pattern wherein the emitted light is spread in a first direction and is constrained in a second direction, the second direction being orthogonal to the first.
