An LED bulb assembly includes a pinion, a plurality of LEDs, an upper heat sink, and a lower base. The plurality of LEDs are configured or arranged around a surface of the pinion, such that the optical axis of the LEDs face outward. An upper heat sink may be configured to provide heat transfer for the LEDs and pinion. The lower base may be configured to provide a connection to the pinion and an upper heat sink. In embodiments, one or more optical elements (e.g., lenses) or LED covers may be included. Further, for some embodiments, the upper heat sink may be upwardly offset a separation distance from an upper surface of the pinion, and may be configured to improve air flow to the upper heat sink.

LED bulb, assembly, and method

A headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle having a light source, a chamber that receives the light source and a cooling channel for removing heat from the chamber. A conductive wall and an insulating wall cooperate to define the chamber and the channel. The conductive wall has a substantially higher thermal conductivity than the insulating wall to promote the heat exchange between the chamber and the cooling channel and to reduce heat exchange between the cooling channel and the relatively hot engine compartment.

Headlamp assembly having cooling channel

A multiplex wiring system having a plurality of communication modules which are interconnected on a pair of buses. Data is transmitted from any one of the modules on one of the buses while redundant or complementary data is transmitted on the other bus. Each module includes three receiving channels, one channel for receiving data, one channel for receiving complementary data, and a differential channel for differentially combining the data and complementary data thereby reducing received noise. A predetermined data sequence is detected on each of the three channels such that specific types of system faults are indicated. In response to the fault indication, the most suitable of the three channels is selected to receive data.
