A light masking system for a vehicle includes: a printed circuit board (PCB); at least one infrared (IR) light source disposed on a first surface of the PCB and configured to emit a first predetermined wavelength range of light; at least one masking light source disposed on the first surface of the PCB proximal to the IR light source and configured to emit a second predetermined wavelength range of light, wherein a portion of the emitted first predetermined wavelength range of light of the IR light source includes visible light; and the emitted second predetermined wavelength range of light of the at least one masking light source masks the emitted visible light from the first predetermined wavelength range of the at least one IR light source.

Apparatus and method for masking residual visible light from an infrared emission source

Described herein are a rotatable reverse light, and a taillight. The rotatable reverse light includes a reverse light, a shaft connected to the reverse light and configured to rotate the reverse light, a motor connected to the shaft to rotate the reverse light about a longitudinal axis of the shaft to orient the reverse light to a desired position, and a reverse light controller. The controller is configured to receive a driving mode of a vehicle, in response to a parking mode of the vehicle, receive a rotation input related to the desired position, generate a rotation signal based on the rotation input, and transmit the rotation signal to the motor to orient the reverse light to the desired position.
