A vehicle lighting unit can include LEDs and at least two long light guide bodies arranged adjacent to each other. At least two light transmitting lenses can be disposed in front of the at least two light guide bodies. The at least two light guide bodies each can include a gap portion interposed therebetween. A first end portion of the light transmitting lens can be positioned at the gap portion so that the first end portions of the light transmitting lenses overlap with each other in a front-rear direction. The first end portions of the at least two light transmitting lenses can have a surface processed portion on its front surface. The surface processed portions can be configured to direct light exiting through the respective first end portions of the at least two light guide bodies forward.

Vehicle lighting unit

A high-mount stoplight which comprises a hook portion provided on either end of a light source board and a hook receiver portion provided in a holder cap, so that when the holder cap is fittingly mounted into a cylindrical housing, the hook portion is engagingly mounted to the hook receiver portion, thereby preventing the holder cap from falling out of the housing even before the stoplight is mounted to the body.

High-mount stoplight

A vehicle lamp having inner and outer lenses and a reflector mirror surface. The inner lens is a Fresnel lens for converting light beams from a light source into parallel light beams, and the outer lens is an ordinary lens for obtaining a desired divergence property of the lamp. The reflector mirror may be a plane mirror, a mirror of a truncated cone shape, or a mirror of a parabolic cylinder shape. The Fresnel lens has as its focal point the virtual image of the light source as obtained by the reflector mirror, thus realizing a compact and small depth housing of the lamp while effectively using the light beams.
