An adaptive beam scanning headlamp for a vehicle includes a plurality of light sources arranged linearly, with each of the plurality of light sources having a linear array of LEDs. A plurality of primary projection lenses shape light from the plurality of light sources. An oscillating mirror obliquely angled between the plurality of primary projection lenses and a secondary projection lens receives light from the plurality of primary projection lenses and redirects the light to the secondary projection lens. The secondary projection lens is adapted to further shape the light for projecting a beam pattern from the vehicle. A controller is adapted for controlling each of the plurality of light sources and the oscillating mirror to actively dim or turn off portions of the beam pattern for reducing glare perceived outside the vehicle.

A reflective-ink lighting assembly includes a light transferring medium, a reflective-ink marking in the light transferring medium, and a light source adapted to insert light into the light transferring medium. In a lit state, light from the light source propagates through the light transferring medium by total-internal reflection. As propagated light reflects off the reflective-ink marking, some light exits through a fa&#xe7;ade of the light transferring medium to produce an illuminated marking. In an unlit state, the reflective-ink marking remains visible due to ambient light reflecting off the reflective-ink marking.
