A modular semiconductor light source assembly includes a semiconductor light source, such as a light emitting diode, which is mounted on a substrate which supplies electricity to the light source and which assists in removing waste heat therefrom. Substantially all of the light emitted by the LED is transferred to a lens by a light pipe, the cross section of the light pipe increasing from the light source to the lens and the lens having a general D-shape such that the light pattern formed by the lens is constrained in a first direction orthogonal to a second direction. The assembly can be combined with other similar assemblies or other light sources in a light fixture to produce a desired overall beam pattern such as a automobile headlamp low beam or high beam pattern.

Semiconductor-based lighting systems and lighting system components for automotive use

A running board assembly is provided for a motor vehicle. The running board assembly includes a mounting bracket adapted to be fixedly secured to the motor vehicle. The running board assembly also includes a step having a stepping surface. A link includes an upper end coupled to the mounting bracket and an opposing lower end coupled to the step. A light source is fixedly mounted to the link for illuminating the stepping surface to allow users to locate the step.

Illuminating bracket for use with a running board or step

A lamp assembly including at least two light emitting diodes (LEDs) attached to an electrically non-conductive housing by at least two beads of electrically conductive epoxy. The electrically conductive epoxy beads are disposed in at least two grooves formed in the housing, for providing at least two voltage rails for connecting the LEDs to a driving circuitry.
