OEM-ValeoLighting(Spain)
Project 4. BMW MINI COOPER(HeadLamp)
Input: Stylingsurface,BIW and master sections.

3. Page 3 of 5
Output: Head Lamp Construction
Responsibility:
 Part Feasibility. (Illustration of non-feasiblerequirements in sections and givingother appropriateoptions for the
same.)
 DecidingFunctional area as per ECE stranded. (E.g.: steradian angle)
 Design and development of mounting strategy: Light Guide mounting with reflector, Prefixingof Inner lens, PCB
mounting, Implementation of BIW mountings
Considerations for design: Meet functional requirement of Light directivity study and avoid lightleakage,
environment parts,Gap and flush.DFM and DFA, design of toolingdirection and partinglinefor each part.
 Design of above lamp prototype for optical Mockup: Designingflutes and optics on aluminumplates and
assemblingon fixtureso as to simulateoptical situations.
