PURPOSE: To provide a lighting system particularly suitable for an automobile application desirably using a central light source to couple the light output therefrom to a headlamp assembly having a number of conventional components. CONSTITUTION: An output end of a light guide 10 in place of an incandescent lamp is introduced to a reflector assembly, and a mirror 20 is disposed at the output end of the light guide 10, in order to reflect light onto a conventional parabolic reflecting surface 16. The mirror is preferably planar and serves to direct the light from the output end of the light guide to the parabolic reflecting surface, and the light is collimated thereby, and passes through a conventional lens member 30. |
