The first coupler is configured to couple the holder support to the circuit support. The second coupler is intended to retain the microlenses support.

A light-emitting emblem includes a light-emitting element as a light source, a housing that houses the light-emitting element and includes an opening, and a cover. The cover includes an emblem on a surface thereof and a light-emitting portion on the surface to allow light emitted from the light-emitting element to be extracted therethrough. The cover is attached to the housing so as to cover the opening. Also included is a first rib on the housing and/or a second rib on the cover, the first rib extending from the housing toward the cover, and the second rib extending from the cover toward the housing.

A vehicle decoration system includes a decorative wreath, the decorative wreath attached to a connector, the connector configured to secure to a vehicle; one or more lights secured to the decorative wreath; a control system associated with the decorative wreath and configured to operate the one or more lights; an electrical connector connecting the control system to a vehicle plug and the control system in communication with a vehicle control system via the vehicle plug; the one or more lights are activate via commands associated with the vehicle.

A vehicle lamp suppressing design deterioration due to moire is provided. The vehicle lamp includes: a first plate material including a plurality of first light transmissive areas transmitting light therethrough and a first light non-transmissive area positioned between the plurality of first light transmissive areas and not transmitting light therethrough; a second plate material including a plurality of second light transmissive areas transmitting light therethrough and a second light non-transmissive area positioned between the plurality of second light transmissive areas and not transmitting light therethrough, the second plate material being layered on the first plate material; and a light source that emits light via the plurality of first light transmissive areas of the first plate material and the plurality of second light transmissive areas of the second plate material, where the plurality of second light transmissive areas are larger, in acreage, than the plurality of first light transmissive areas.

A microLED lighting module is disclosed. The microLED lighting module includes a micromodule having one or more transparent polymer layers thereon. Additionally, the one or more transparent polymer lavers are configured to maintain a temperature of the microLED lighting module below approximately 220 C.

The present invention relates to a vehicle logo assembly and a method for forming a vehicle logo assembly. The vehicle logo assembly has a housing and a cover, the housing and the cover form an internal space, and a light-emitting assembly and a light-diffusing assembly are accommodated in the internal space, wherein, a coating is provided on the inner side of the cover facing the light-emitting assembly, so as to present a vehicle logo, and the cover is provided with a light-transmitting portion.

A utility vehicle with a side-by-side seating arrangement that includes an accent lighting assembly having a forward mounted accent light assembly, a front left wheel well accent light and front right wheel well accent light assembly, and a rear left wheel well and rear right wheel well accent light assembly. The accent lighting assembly includes a bracket member for attaching the accent lights and securing to the utility vehicle. A controller in communication with the accent lights is mounted under a hood of the utility vehicle. The accent lighting assembly allows a secure attachment to a utility vehicle that may travel over rough terrain.

A vehicular exterior rearview mirror assembly includes a mirror head accommodating a mirror reflective element and an illumination module, which includes a light source, a first mask, and a second mask. When the light source is powered, emitted light that passes through the first mask is a first color and emitted light that passes through the second mask is a second color. With the mirror assembly mounted at a vehicle, and when the light source is powered to emit light, light emitted by the light source passes through the first mask to project a first projected image onto a ground region and passes through the second mask to project a second projected image onto the ground region. The first projected image includes a first logo portion having the first color, and the second projected image includes a second logo portion having the second color.
