The disclosure provides a mounting structure of an object detection device to a vehicle body capable of improving the accuracy of object detection by the object detection device and improving the durability of the object detection device. A mounting structure of a radar device, which is an object detection device for detecting objects, to a vehicle body, includes a cover member attached to the vehicle body side and covering at least a part of the radar device. The cover member is disposed on a first direction side, which is an object detection direction by the radar device when viewed from the radar device. The cover member includes a rib extending from the cover member in a second direction opposite to the first direction. The radar device is fixed to the rib.

Mounting structure of object detection device to vehicle body

The disclosure provides a mounting structure of an object detection device to a vehicle body capable of improving the accuracy of object detection by the object detection device and improving the durability of the object detection device. A mounting structure of a radar device, which is an object detection device for detecting objects, to a vehicle body includes: a support bracket attached to the vehicle body side for supporting the radar device in a first direction, which is an object detection direction by the radar device; and a cover member fixed to the first direction side of the support bracket and disposed on the first direction side of the radar device. The radar device is housed in a housing chamber defined by the cover member and the support bracket.

A headlamp is configured to emit a low beam toward a forward direction of a vehicle. The headlamp is switchable between a first low beam distribution state and a second low beam distribution state. The headlamp is configured to, in the first low beam distribution state, illuminate a low area straight ahead of the vehicle, and in the second low beam distribution state, illuminate at least one of: a width-direction intermediate portion of the low area, one width-direction end portion of the low area, and the other width-direction end portion of the low area, even brighter than the first low beam distribution state.

Headlamp and headlamp control system

A headlamp control system includes: a headlamp that emits light toward a forward direction of a vehicle; a tilt detection part; and a control part. The headlamp includes: high beam emitting parts that respectively illuminate plural high beam areas arrayed in a left-right direction; and a low beam emitting part that illuminates a low beam area located at a lower position than the plural high beam areas. The control part, in a state where the low beam emitting part is on, when the tilt detection part detects that the vehicle has tilted such that one of left and right sides of the vehicle is lowered than the other one of the left and right sides, controls the high beam emitting parts so as to illuminate at least one of the plural high beam areas, the at least one being on the one of the left and right sides.

Headlamp control system

A rear lamp unit control system for a vehicle including: a first lamp provided on a vehicle body side of a vehicle rear face; a second lamp provided on an opening-closing body side of the vehicle rear face; and a controller configured to control the first lamp and the second lamp. When an opening-closing body of the vehicle is in a closed state, the controller is configured to control the first lamp and the second lamp so that the first lamp and the second lamp turn on at different luminous intensities to each other. In response to the second lamp being in need to be turned on when the opening-closing body is in an open state, the controller is configured to turn the first lamp on at a luminous intensity that is equivalent to a luminous intensity of the second lamp when the second lamp is turned on.

Rear lamp unit control system

A vehicle body side structure includes: a cornering light as a light source configured to illuminate an area in a turning direction when a vehicle turns; a light path forming a path, through which light from the cornering light passes toward the area in the turning direction; and a reflector provided in the light path and reflecting at least a part of the light to illuminate an area in the vicinity of a door opening on a lateral side of a vehicle body.

Vehicle body side structure

A lamp device for vehiclecomprises a light source, an inner lensconfigured to accept light of the light source, and a housingconfigured to cover a periphery of the light source unitand the inner lens. When a traveling direction of a light beam with a largest light amount in the light emitted from the light sourceis defined as front, the housingincludes a back surface portionlocated on a rear side of the inner lens, and a lower surface portionlocated on a lower side of the inner lens, the lower surface portionincludes an extended portionextended to a front side of a front surface portionof the inner lens

Lamp device for vehicle

The left headlamp (L) includes first light source modules (L,L, andL) and a light guide member (L). The first light source modules (L,L, andL) corresponds to partial light distributing patterns (PL, PL, and PL) and have light projection directions parallel to each other. The light guide member (L) has: first incident surfaces (L,L, andL), arranged so as to face the first light source modules (L,L, andL) and corresponding to the first light source modules (L,L, andL); and an emitting surface (L), arranged so as to face the first incident surfaces (L,L, andL) and shared by the first light source modules (L,L, andL). The light guide member (L) forms a light distributing pattern (PL) by deflecting light projected by the first light source modules (L,L, andL).

Vehicular headlamp

The preset invention provides a light unit attached to a vehicle, the unit including a ventilation mechanism configured to ventilate a space between an outer lens and a housing, wherein the ventilation mechanism includes a first passage including, at one end, a first opening connected to a communicating hole and communicating with the space, a second passage including, at one end, a second opening that opens to a front side of the vehicle, a third passage including, at one end, a third opening that opens to a rear side of the vehicle, and a connecting passage to which the other end of the first passage, the other end of the second passage, and the other end of the third passage are connected.
