Abstract
A vehicle lamp is provided having a heat sink having a first end mounted to a lamp housing and having a free distal end extending into a light chamber adjacent a central optical axis of the lamp. A light emitting diode (LED) is mounted adjacent the distal end of the heat sink to have a central light emitting axis opposite the optical axis of the lamp. A parabolic reflector is positioned rearward of the heat sink, a parabolic reflective surface extending at an upper and lower solid angle relative to the LED, wherein the upper and lower combined solid angle is greater than a half-paraboloid.
