AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Due to the screw installation method of the existing headlight decorative panels, the ends of the long decorative panels are easily raised, and there is a lack of an effective light diffusion light guide structure.

Method used

A light diffusion light guide structure is designed, including a reflective cover and a light guide body. A reflective focus area is formed on the reflective cover. The first surface of the light guide body is provided with a convex arc surface and a step surface.
