A light assembly for a vehicle mirror is provided. The light assembly in one aspect has a light directing arrangement attached to a transparent pane, which directs a light beam into a specified zone, controls a color of the light beam and controls an intensity of the light. In another aspect, a pane is provided having similar attributes and a water drain and drip edge.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The present invention provides a blinker light in an outside mirror, which possesses sufficient intensity and at the same time avoids dazzling either the driver or a possible passenger.
For example, the invention permits the light to travel essentially in one specified angular zone away from its source, so that a dazzling of the driver is prevented.
At the same time losses through light conductors or the like are avoided.
In a first embodiment of the present invention, light is directed by vertical, opaque strips, offset from one another on the inside and outside of a transparent pane.
In this way, only those light beams from the light source, which exist in the direction of the specified angle areas, are radiated from the blinker light.
Stray beams of light, which could, to a certain extent, dazzle the driver, are absorbed by the offset strips, or may be advantageously reflected back one or more times in such a manner that they finally coincide with the emission within the specified angle area.
In a second embodiment of the present invention, light is directed by one or more transparent areas having horizontal cross-sections which permit light beams to pass through to a predetermined angular zone.
Advantageously, the transparent areas have more or less the same angular zone as is specified.
In a third embodiment of the present invention, light is directed by prismatically designed partial areas of a glass plate.
In this arrangement, advantageously, such a prismatic partial area has a vertical cross-section in the shape of a triangle, the first leg of which (preferably the hypotenuse) faces the source of light, the second leg thereof (preferably the longer leg) is set normal to the bisector of the angle of the specified angular zone, and the third leg of the triangle lies normal to a principal direction of dazzling, into which direction as few light beams as possible are allowed to shine.
In an advantageous modification, this third leg is made opaque.
In this way, essentially only beams of light are radiated in the predetermined angular zone
