[0002] Driving lights (such as headlights, daytime running lights, and fog lights) are critical components for safe vehicle operation, and their performance directly affects driving safety at night, in rainy or foggy weather, or in low-visibility conditions. In existing vehicle lighting systems, driving lights (such as daytime running lights, low beam headlights, or fog lights) generally suffer from insufficient luminous intensity, poor lighting effects, and inadequate heat dissipation, seriously impacting driving safety and user experience.

[0003] Traditional driving lights have low efficiency, and their brightness and color temperature are insufficient to meet the lighting needs of complex road conditions, especially in rain, fog, at night, or in low visibility environments. Insufficient light penetration limits the driver's field of vision, increasing driving risks. Furthermore, high-power LED chips or dense light sources generate a large amount of heat during prolonged operation. Poor heat dissipation can lead to accelerated light decay, color temperature drift, and even burnout of the LED chips, resulting in a shortened lifespan. No solutions have yet been proposed to address these technical problems. Utility Model Content

The two light-diffusing elements 4 are arranged in a symmetrical smiling shape. The outer surface has a stepped layering, textured surface, and a bottom heat-fused light-diffusing sheet, forming a terraced light band effect. This architecture combines stable intensity and excellent heat dissipation, allowing for precise control of light direction and achieving a more uniform light distribution. The reflector array can precisely distribute light in zones, eliminating dark areas and light spots in traditional designs.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3 As shown, a four-core power cable 13 is further connected to one side of the circuit board 7. One end of the four-core power cable 13 passes through the die-cast lamp housing 1 and extends to the outside of the die-cast lamp housing 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, the four-core power cable 13 is also provided with a wire hole plug.

[0035] This invention employs an irregular prismatic lens in conjunction with a reflector array to achieve a more uniform light distribution. The reflector array allows for precise light distribution in different zones, eliminating dark areas and light spots in traditional designs. The irregular surface increases the heat dissipation area, which can reduce the LED junction temperature by 15-20℃. The reflector array is beneficial for thermal isolation design, preventing material aging caused by heat concentration. The irregular optical surface can reduce the yellowing and light decay problems common in traditional lenses.

The near-field lighting area (0-30m) can form 3-5 levels of brightness gradient, improving the visibility of road details, while the far-field lighting area (30-60m) maintains uniform high brightness, extending the effective viewing distance by about 20%, facilitating dynamic light pattern adjustment (such as gradient following steering when using cornering auxiliary lighting), reducing ineffective scattered light, and achieving a system luminous efficacy of over 90lm / W. The asymmetric light distribution design increases the effective lighting luminous flux by 35%.
