Abstract
A vehicle lighting assembly that comprises: a single lens having a first and a second plurality of near-field lens elements, and an exit surface; and a first and a second LED source that directs light through the respective first and second plurality of lens elements. The first and the second plurality of lens elements are configured to transmit light in a respective spread pattern and a high-intensity pattern through the exit surface. The assemblies can be configured such that the spread pattern and the high-intensity pattern collectively meet the low beam headlight requirements set forth in any current global vehicular lighting regulation, e.g., the current U.S. NHTSA Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108.
