A vehicular door handle apparatus includes a fixed handle fixed to a door of a vehicle from a front surface of the door, a movable handle rotatably connected to the fixed handle, and an output lever rotatably connected to a connecting block projected on the fixed handle and inserted into an inside of the door. An operational force on the movable handle is transmitted to a door lock device fixed to the door through the output lever. A counter weight which cancels a force in an actuation direction occurred in the output lever by inertia when the door receives a side collision force, is connected to the connecting block.

A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a handle portion and an illumination module having an illumination source that emits light when electrically powered. With the exterior door handle assembly mounted at a door handle region of a vehicle door and when the illumination source is electrically powered to emit light, light emitted by the illumination source illuminates the door handle region of the vehicle door. The illumination module is located and oriented at the vehicular exterior door handle assembly such that, when the illumination source is electrically powered to emit light, a hand grasping the handle portion to open the vehicle door does not block light emitted by the illumination source so that illumination is maintained at the door handle region of the vehicle door.
