Abstract
A vehicle lamp fixture is disclosed in which a truncated bowl-shaped reflector is formed as a single unit in front of each respective LED . Each reflector is formed from a transparent substance and has an aperture in the front surface. Each reflector also has a reflective surface that totally reflects light from the LED and a light conductive member that conducts at least a portion of light reflected by the reflective surface toward the front of the light fixture. A transparent front lens can thereby be used that does not include light-distributing facets.
