The invention relates to a method for producing an LED tape, comprising the following steps: producing an elastic base profile (1) and rolling up the elastic base profile (1) onto a first roll (11); producing an LED strip (323) comprising a flexible conductor tape (flexible PCB) (32) populated with LED chips (3) and rolling up the LED strip (323) onto a second roll (33); unrolling the base profile (1) from the first roll (11); unrolling the LED strip (323) from the second roll (33) and inserting the LED strip (323) into the base profile (1) and covering the LED strip (323) in the base profile (1) with a potting compound (2) and/or with a covering profile (7). The invention also relates to an LED tape in which a rollable LED strip (323) which has a flexible conductor tape (flexible PCB) (32) populated with LED chips (3) is fixed in a rollable elastic base profile (1) and is covered with a potting compound (2) and/or an in particular rollable, covering profile (7). The invention also relates to an LED strip (323) in which the flexible conductor tape (32) is corrugated in its longitudinal direction (L).

An air filtration system for a vehicle includes a first inlet assembly. A second inlet assembly is in fluid communication with the first inlet assembly. A first fan is disposed within a housing and is in fluid communication with the first inlet assembly. A second fan is disposed within the housing and is in fluid communication with the second inlet assembly. A light source is disposed within the housing proximate the first and second fans. The light source emits ultraviolet light. A filter is disposed within the housing proximate the first and second fans. An outlet is in fluid communication with the first and second inlet assemblies. Air is drawn into the housing by the first and second fans, subjected to the ultraviolet light, and expelled via the outlet.

An automotive ornament including a substrate, a texture layer and a transparent layer is provided. The substrate has a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The texture layer is located on the first surface, wherein the texture layer includes a texture pattern. The transparent layer extends from a top surface of the texture layer to cover a sidewall of the texture layer and a sidewall of the substrate. The transparent layer covers the texture pattern, and the texture layer has a degree of stretching less than the transparent layer. A manufacturing method of automotive ornament is also provided.

A mounting platform attached to a vehicle by existing openings and holes in a truck bed. A base portion having an L-clamp or bolt assembly registered and bolted to the vehicle and is securely held to the bed rails of a pick-up truck. Two formed metal vertical uprights or supports are attached to the base portion. A platform portion is attached to the two upright vertical forms or supports. The mounting platform is used to mount accessories such as light bars, emergency lights, spot lights, antennas, or any other accessory. The mounting platform may be easily installed and removed from the vehicle without any damage or modification to the vehicle and without drilling any additional holes in the vehicle.

This disclosure is directed to customizable charge status indicator systems for electrified vehicle charge port assemblies. Exemplary charge status indicator systems may include a charge port lighting module, and a human machine interface (HMI) that includes various user interfaces configured for receiving inputs for customizing different lighting effects that can be emitted by the charge port lighting module. The charge status indicator systems may further include a controller operably coupled to both the charge port lighting module and the HMI and configured for commanding the charge port lighting module to emit customized lighting effects in response to receiving input signals from the HMI.

A vehicular rear window assembly includes a window panel having an inner glass panel and an outer glass panel laminated together. A lighting device includes a plurality of light sources arranged on a circuit element. The vehicular rear window assembly is configured to be disposed at a rear portion of a cabin of a vehicle. The lighting device is disposed between the inner glass panel and the outer glass panel. The light sources, when electrically powered, emit light that is visible through the outer glass panel of the window panel so as to be viewable by a person viewing the vehicular rear window assembly from exterior and rearward of the vehicle. At least some of the light sources of the lighting device are electrically powered responsive to actuation of a brake of the vehicle to provide a center high mounting stop lamp feature that is integrated within the window panel.

A system for a vehicle having an accessory positioned along the vehicle. The system may also include a sensor located along the vehicle in wireless communication with the accessory, wherein the sensor triggers activation of the accessory based on input from an external source.
