ABSTRACT:
A light manifold for an automotive light module emitting light to the side of a longitudinal axis along which light is to be directed. The light module is structured in a manner that permits the creation of light distribution patterns for particular functions, such as the stop light function for an automobile, that are otherwise difficult to effectively produce.
