LIGHTING SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A lighting system for providing a refit lighting system for a vehicle, comprising:
- an electrical element, configured to replace a light bulb of the vehicle and consume the received power and incapable of emitting light so as to a detection system of the vehicle will conclude that the light bulb exists;
a light source;
a controller, configured to receive a first signal indicating the working status of the electrical element and control the light source generating a first light and a second light respectively based on the first signal.

Abstract
To satisfy the need for refitting the lighting of a vehicle without the need to modify the controlling system of the vehicle, the present invention proposes a lighting system which comprises an electrical element (110), configured to consume the received power and incapable of emitting light; a light source (130); and a controller (120), configured to receive a first signal indicating the working status of the electrical element (110) and control the light source (130) generating a first light and a second light, respectively, based on the first signal. By utilizing the signal indicating the working status of the electrical element (110), which element is used to replace another automotive lamp, the controller can control the light source (130) to mimic said another automotive lamp while performing its original function.
