Abstract:
An automotive lighting unit wherein the lighting assembly that backlights the front half-shell comprises: at least one light-guide body made of photoconductive material, which is placed inside the rear body and is structured to channel, by total internal reflection and towards said transparent or semi-transparent portion of the front half-shell, the light that enters into the light-guide body through a light-incoupling end or sidewall of the same light-guide body; an active light deflector device which is placed inside the rear body, facing the light-incoupling end or sidewall of said light-guide body; and an electrically-powered light source which is placed inside the rear body and emits, on command, a collimated light beam towards the active light deflector device; the active light deflector device being adapted to reflect/divert said collimated light beam towards the light-incoupling end or sidewall of said light-guide body, so that the collimated light beam can enter into the light-guide body and then travel inside the light-guide body by total internal reflection.

Claim (Index 8):
Automotive lighting unit according to  claim 1 , characterised in that the lighting assembly ( 4 ,  5 ) comprises a plurality of light-guide bodies ( 6 ,  15 ,  20 ) made of photoconductive material, each of which is placed inside the rear body ( 2 ) and is structured to channel, by total internal reflection and towards a corresponding transparent or semi-transparent portion of the front half-shell ( 3 ), the light that enters in the same light-guide body ( 6 ,  15 ,  20 ) through a light-incoupling end or sidewall ( 8 ,  17 ,  21 ) ( 8 ,  17 ,  21 ) of the same light-guide body ( 6 ,  15 ,  20 ); the active light deflector device ( 9 ,  16 ) being adapted to reflect/divert said collimated light beam (r, l) towards the light-incoupling end or sidewall ( 8 ,  17 ,  21 ) of each of said light-guide bodies ( 6 ,  15 ,  20 ), so that the collimated light beam (r, l) can enter into the same light-guide body ( 6 ,  15 ,  20 ) and then travel inside the same light-guide body ( 6 ,  15 ,  20 ) by total internal reflection.
