Abstract
A manifold for use on a vehicle utilizing light from a remote light source. The manifold includes bi-focal parabolic reflector which collects and collimates light from the remote light source which is transmitted to the bi-focal parabolic reflector through a light guide, such as a fiber optic light pipe. Light from the reflector is reflected outward through a plurality of reflective facets to form a light beam.
