A lighting unit (101) for a vehicle comprises: a solid state lighting device or LED (115, Fig. 2 ); a heat sink (129, Fig. 2 ) thermally connected to the LED such that heat generated by the LED is transferred to the heat sink by thermal conduction; and attachment means (133) arranged to attach the heat sink to at least two mounting members (109) that are part of the structure of the vehicle. The heat sink top part (129T) may form a strut, link, or bridge between the mounting members; and may protrude through an aperture (139, Fig. 2 ) in a casing (135, Fig. 2 ) of the lighting unit; which may be a front or rear lighting unit on a car, van, truck, off-road vehicle, or railway vehicle. The heat sink 129 may structurally replace a mounting member (9, Fig. 1 ) on the vehicle.
