ABSTRACT:
A lamp assembly capable of functioning both as a fog lamp and a cornering lamp on a motor vehicle, comprising a fixed reflector within a housing, a movable reflector positioned forwardly of the fixed reflector, and a light bulb mounted to the fixed reflector and extending forwardly therefrom through an aperture in the movable reflector. The fixed reflector reflects the light rays from the bulb in the forward direction of the lamp assembly. Considerably less in size then the fixed reflector, the movable reflector pivots about a vertical axis between a first position, where it coacts with the fixed reflector to reflect the light rays forwardly in the use of the lamp assembly as fog lamp, and a second position where the movable reflector deflects part of the light rays toward one side of the lamp assembly to enable the same to server as cornering lamp. Being mounted to the fixed reflector so as to extend forwardly therefrom through the aperture in the movable reflector with minimal clearance, the light bulb hardly intercepts the light rays that have been reflected back from the movable reflector.
