Abstract

An automotive light assembly is revealed. The automotive light assembly includes a controller that is electrically connected to a daytime running light switch and a turn signal light switch of a vehicle. The controller is connected to each light source of a daytime running light set by at least one control cable. The controller is also connected to each light source of a turn signal light set by a plurality of control cables, allowing each light source emitting light in turn for indicating directions of vehicle movement. Thus not only the structure of the automotive light assembly is simplified and the production cost is dramatically reduced. By means of light from each light source of the turn signal light set, the direction the vehicle will be turned is indicated more precisely so as to achieve better warning effect and higher safety.

Claims

1. An automotive light assembly comprising at least one controller that is electrically connected to a daytime running light switch and a turn signal light switch of a vehicle;

the controller is connected to each light source of a daytime running light set by at least one control cable;

the controller is also connected to each light source of a turn signal light set by a plurality of control cables;

each light source emits light in turn under control of the controller for indicating directions of vehicle movement.

2. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light source of the daytime running light set is light emitting diode.

3. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light source of the turn signal light set is light emitting diode.

4. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein the light source of the daytime running light set and the light source of the turn signal light set respectively are two light emitting chips with different colors.

5. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a daytime running light control switch is arranged between the controller and the daytime running light set;

the daytime running light control switch is connected to a power source;

the controller is connected to the daytime running light control switch by the control cable and then the power source is connected to each light source of the daytime running light set through the daytime running light control switch.

6. The device as claimed in claim 1, wherein a turn signal light control switch set is disposed between the controller and the turn signal light set;

the turn signal light control switch set is connected to a power source;

the controller is connected to each control switch of the turn signal light control switch set by a plurality of control cables and then the power source is connected to each light source of the turn signal light set through each control switch of the turn signal light control switch set.
