An air scoop light unit for a vehicle includes a light emitting area and related features where the light unit comprises a concave guiding surface spaced apart from the vehicle body to form an airflow channel there between that guides airflow at least partially around an outer side corner of the vehicle body to enhance aerodynamic efficiency. The air scoop light unit may incorporate safety features such as sensing devices as well as features that allow the air scoop light unit to deform, break or move in a predetermined manner such as to absorb energy in case of contact with an object such as a pedestrian. Vehicles including one or more such lamp assemblies are also included, including vehicles having tapered bodies.
