A vehicle infrared lighting system 3a, 3b comprises a plurality of infrared LEDs 13, whereby a significant number of them are offset from a vehicle lighting system 2 and distributed over an area. The LEDs 13 are arranged as part of a bodywork of a vehicle 1, and at a distance away from the vehicle lighting system 2. The LEDs are distributed over a large area to ensure sufficient safety for the eyes of other road users. In this embodiment, the infrared lighting system 3a, 3b forms a part of a night vision system. In another embodiment, there provide means of mounting the LEDs 13 on the bodywork of the vehicle 1, whereby the bodywork comprises a carrier 10, and a coloured layer 11 which is the same colour as the rest of the car. The LEDs 13 and the bodywork are covered with a transparent layer 12 which protects the LEDs 13 and the coloured layer 11. |
