Abstract
The present invention pertains to an automotive lighting system arrangement including an optical light module with a light source that produces light rays and emits light rays along the module's optical axis towards a beam clipping structural arrangement that forms a cutoff in a generated light beam; the reflective collector being arranged with a trim shield and an optional light blocker so that a portion of the light rays directed along the optical axis has a pre-designed shape or angle of inclination relative to a benchmark axis, such that the optical light module forms a shaped image from the interaction of light rays across a collector's reflective surface with the trim shield to achieve the shaped image of the cutoff beam. The invention also describes application to lighting systems that include multiple associated lighting device modules.
