    摘要: A lighting module for a vehicular bumper includes at least one light source (502, 504, 702, 704, 706, 708) and a transparent polymeric portion (506, 710) configured to be coupled to a vehicular bumper so as to form at least part of the vehicular bumper. The transparent polymeric portion (506, 710) has a chromium-based reflective coating (512, 716) coated on an outer surface (510, 714) thereof configured to be at least partially permeable to light emitted by the at least one light source (502, 504, 702, 704, 706, 708). At least one etching (514, 516, 518, 718, 720, 722) in the chromium-based reflective coating (512, 716) is devoid of the chromium-based reflective coating (512, 716). With the at least one light source (502, 504, 702, 704, 706, 708) electrically-connected to a vehicle, light emitted by the at least one light source (502, 504, 702, 704, 706, 708) is reflected and distributed by at least one light reflector (522, 728, 732), substantially within at least one light chamber (526, 736, 738) and towards the transparent polymeric portion (506, 710), so as to simultaneously pass through the chromium-based reflective coating (512, 716) and the at least one etching (514, 516, 518, 718, 720, 722) in the chromium-based reflective coating (512, 716).

    摘要: A lamp assembly (100, 300) configured to be mounted to a vehicle includes a housing (102, 302) configured to be coupled to a vehicle and at least one light source (104, 106, 108, 110, 304, 305, 306, 307) disposed at least partially within an interior of the housing (102, 302). The lamp assembly further includes a transparent polymeric lens (112, 308) coupled to the housing (102, 302) so as to substantially enclose the interior of the housing (102, 302) and the at least one light source (104, 106, 108, 110, 304, 305, 306, 307). The transparent polymeric lens (112, 308) has a chromium-based reflective coating (118, 314) coated on at least a first area (120, 316) of an outer surface (116, 312) thereof. With the at least one light source (104, 106, 108, 110, 304, 305, 306, 307) electrically-connected to the vehicle, the chromium-based reflective coating (118, 314) is at least partially permeable to at least some light which is emitted by the at least one light source (104, 106, 108, 110, 304, 305, 306, 307) and passed through the transparent polymeric lens (112, 308). At least a second area of the outer surface (116, 312) of the transparent polymeric lens (112, 308) is devoid of the chromium-based reflective coating (118, 314).
