Exterior rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle
First Claim
1. An exterior rear view mirror assembly for a motor vehicle comprising:
- a reflecting element with a multidimensional image;
a clamping plate;
a first adhesive element fixing the reflective element to the clamping plate; and
a watertight illumination module;
wherein the watertight illumination module is detachably attached to the first adhesive element and wherein the watertight illumination module further comprises;
an inner portion with an inner reflective surface with a reflectivity coefficient of at least 30%, the inner reflective surface at least partially exposed to the light emitted by the at least one light emitting diode,a printed circuit board arranged within the inner portion at an angle of 1 to 90 degrees relative to the clamping plate, wherein a first side of the printed circuit board rests on the watertight illumination module and a second side opposite the first side does not rest on the watertight illumination module,at least one light emitting diode arranged on the printed circuit board, andan outer portion with at least one hole with a sealing element engaged therein.

23. An exterior rear view minor assembly for a motor vehicle comprising:
-
a reflecting element with a multidimensional image; a clamping plate; a first adhesive element fixing the reflective element to the clamping plate; and a watertight illumination module, wherein the watertight illumination module is detachably attached to the first adhesive element and wherein the watertight illumination module further comprises; at least one light emitting diode arranged on a circuit board at an angle of 1 to 90 degrees relative to the clamping plate, wherein the circuit board has a first surface facing the reflecting element and a second surface opposite the first, and wherein the at least one light emitting diode is arranged on the second surface of the circuit board; an inner portion with an inner reflective surface with a reflectivity coefficient of at least 30%, the inner reflective surface at least partially exposed to the light emitted by the at least one light emitting diode such that light emitted from the at least one LED impinges on the inner reflective surface and reflects away therefrom, and an outer portion with at least one hole with a sealing element engaged therein.
