Abstract
A light assembly including two light sources through a single inner lens made of two separate materials includes a first light source that is operable to emit light for a position light function of the vehicle, and a second light source that is operable to emit light for a Daytime Running Light function of the vehicle. The light assembly further includes an inner lens having a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is formed from a mixture of polymethyl methacrylate and polyetheresteramide, and is operable to receive light from the first light source adjacent a light receiving edge of the first portion and reflect the light to provide the position light function. The second portion of the inner lens is formed from polymethyl methacrylate without polyetheresteramide, and is operable to receive light from the second light source and direct the light to provide the DRL function.
