FIG. 1 is a front elevational view of a left vehicle headlight (as viewed from the front of the vehicle), the outer lens having been rendered opaque using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the exterior decorative surfaces (only the left vehicle headlight is illustrated, the right being a mirror of the left);
FIG. 2 is a front elevational view of the area labeled 2 in FIG. 1 where the lens has been rendered transparent using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the interior decorative surfaces (the area selection line 2 in both FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 are not a broken lines and the area 2 is claimed);
FIG. 3 is a left side elevational view of the vehicle headlight, the outer lens having been rendered opaque using the Computer Aided Design tools to better illustrate the exterior decorative surfaces;
FIG. 4 is a right side elevational view of the vehicle headlight;
FIG. 5 is a top plan view of the vehicle headlight; and,
FIG. 6 is bottom plan view of the vehicle headlight.
The vehicle headlight is styled independently of adjacent vehicle panels. To the extent that any feature lines are illustrated, they are intended to illustrate the crest and valley of the feature and are not necessarily sharp bends in the part. Shading is used to illustrate the curvature of the part and not color. Any functional features of the vehicle headlight are not claimed. Views are orthogonal projections unless otherwise noted. The various views are not necessarily to scale in order to better illustrate the design. The drawings were generated using Computer Aided Design tools. Highlights and shading were added to the drawings to better illustrate the three-dimensional features of the part. The vehicle headlight is intended to be observed in various states of internal illumination as well as in daylight with no internal illumination.
