Automotive lamp and reflector for low beam and advanced forward lighting system

摘要

The application concerns an automotive lamp (12) having a first filament and a second filament extending perpendicular to the first filament. The second filament is partially hidden rearward and above the first filament. An advanced forward lighting system (10) may be made with said lamp and a reflector (14) which forms a main beam from the first filament light and a right or left cast supplemental beam from the second filament light. The second filament's position minimizes glare, and enables a simple advanced forward lighting system from a single standard lamp fitting both right and left side reflectors.
