The light guide columns 32 and the corresponding light-transmitting through holes 21 are on the same optical path. Specifically, the central axis of the light-transmitting through hole 21 is in the same direction as the light bulb 14, and the central axis of the light-transmitting through hole 21 coincides with the central axis of the light guide column 32. The light emitted by the light bulb 14 can pass through the light-transmitting through hole 21, the main body 31, and the light guide columns 32 in sequence to reach the outside of the light guide 3.

[0032] See also Figure 1-3The panel 4 is provided with at least two through holes 41, which are used for passing light. The through holes 41 correspond to the light guide column 32 one by one. The light guide column 32 extends into the through holes 41. The light guide column 32 can pass through the through holes 41 and be exposed outside the panel 4. The end of the light guide column 32 may not exceed the panel 4, and the end of the light guide column 32 may also be flush with the outer surface of the panel 4. The light emitted by the bulb 14 can pass through the light-transmitting through hole 21, the main body 31, and the light guide column 32 in sequence to reach the outside of the panel 4. The sealing gasket 5 plays a waterproof role, and the sealing gasket 5 can be made of rubber or silicone. The sealing gasket 5 is sandwiched between the panel 4 and the main body 31.
