Patent ID: 7600905

Claim:
A vehicle light unit ( 10 ) comprising: a first light conductor ( 16 a ) extending between a first light receiving end ( 18 a ) and a first nodal end ( 20 a ); a second light conductor ( 16 b ) extending between a second light receiving end ( 18 b ) and a second nodal end ( 20 b ), said first nodal end ( 20 a ) and said second nodal end ( 20 b ) being brought together in a junction ( 30 ); first ( 12 a ) and second ( 12 b ) lamps disposed adjacent said first ( 18 a ) and second ( 18 b ) light receiving ends, respectively, to emit light therein; a third light conductor ( 16 c ) connected to said junction ( 30 ); and a decoupling region ( 26 a , 26 b ) defining a plane and extending along said first ( 16 a ) and second ( 16 b ) light conductors between said light receiving ends ( 18 a , 18 b ) and said nodal ends ( 20 a , 20 b ) allowing light to exit homogenously along said first and second light conductors ( 16 a , 16 b ) between said light receiving ends ( 18 a , 18 b ) and said nodal ends ( 20 a , 20 b ), wherein said third light conductor ( 16 c ) extends outside said plane defined by said decoupling region ( 26 a , 26 b ).
