Abstract

See full text

A method of manufacturing an automotive light including the steps of: providing a container body delimited by a first perimetral profile; providing a lenticular body delimited by a second perimetral profile; associating the profiles, with a contact surface therebetween defining a welding interface; providing a laser emission device emitting radiation, operatively connected to a first light guide with an output to distribute radiation via a spatial distribution including with lobes; providing a second light guide inside the lenticular body adapted to obtain a light guide of radiation inside the lenticular body, having walls defined by a first lobe; arranging the guides to route a first lobe of radiation from the output towards the second guide, to propagate at least one lobe of radiation inside the second light guide towards the welding interface; wherein the container body acts as an absorbing member and the lenticular body acts as a transmissive member.
