Abstract
A headlight and sidelight assembly is provided for an off-road vehicle having a front enclosure. The front enclosure has a front end face lying substantially in a plane disposed substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and first and second side faces. First and second light housings are disposed at the intersection of the end face and opposite side faces and are each open toward a side and front of the vehicle. First and second reflectors are provided in the housings and form divergent inner walls of the housings. Light emitting elements are disposed in the housings in front of the reflectors, each projecting a beam pattern of light intersecting the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and extending outward and rearward therefrom past a line transverse to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and extending through a rearward end of the light housing, so that the first and second light-emitting elements together effectively illuminate an area greater than 180° about the front of the vehicle.
