Patent ID: 8317381

Claim:
A vehicle light comprising: a light source; a fiber-optic light guide comprising: a front side and a rear side; a coupling surface through which light from the light source is coupled-in to the fiber-optic light guide; and an expander for expanding an aperture angle of an incident light beam; and a reflector comprising a plurality of deflectors for deflecting incident light, wherein: the reflector is disposed behind the rear side of the fiber-optic light guide, and is spaced apart from the rear side of the fiber-optic light guide; the reflector is formed entirely as a facet structure having only substantially planar surfaces; and the reflector is formed such that incident light from the fiber-optic light guide, which is deflected by the reflector and re-enters the fiber-optic light guide, exits from the front side of the fiber-optic light guide at different exit points in different preferred orientations.
