A vehicle having a front trunk and a method of controlling a vehicle to access the trunk may include raising a hood from a closed position adjacent body structure to a fully open position with the hood oriented horizontally to provide access to a front trunk, raising a grille with the hood; and pivoting the grille about a hinge affixed to the hood. Front trunk lighting and bins maybe included in the vehicle.

Apparatus for connecting a wiring harness to a sectional door is disclosed. The sectional door has a plurality of panels in which adjacent panels are connected by a hinge, the hinge is connected to the adjacent panels by first and second hinge connectors. The apparatus includes a first bracket which has a proximal end and an opposite distal end, the distal end is shaped and dimensioned to receive the wiring harness. The proximal end of the first bracket is connectable to the hinge by the first hinge connector. A second bracket has a proximal end and an opposite distal end, the distal end is shaped and dimensioned to receive the wiring harness. The proximal end of the second bracket is connectable to the hinge by the second hinge connector. The wiring harness is connected to the distal ends of the first and second brackets, thereby providing strain relief for the wiring harness.

A light assembly includes a housing with a mounting bracket extending from an upper surface, a circuit board, a light source provided on the circuit board, and a cover with an aperture in a bottom surface for light from the light source to pass through. The housing includes a side wall defining an interior space configured to receive the circuit board, and a plurality of cutouts formed in the sidewall. The cover includes a tab and at least one cap, both extending from the bottom surface of the cover, with the cap extending farther than the tab. The circuit board is positioned in the housing, with the cover closing the interior space such that the tab and cap each coupled to one of the cutouts, the tab and the cutout defining a gap through which wires connected to the circuit board extend, while preventing light from exiting through the cutouts.

A plastic glazing of a window of a vehicle having a light feature includes a first vehicle window glazing component, a second vehicle window glazing component molded onto the first vehicle window glazing component, and a light unit configured to produce light for the light feature. The light unit being integrated with at least one of the following: the first vehicle window glazing component and the second vehicle window glazing component. The light unit further configured to direct the light for the light feature through or from at least one of the following: the first vehicle window glazing component and the second vehicle window glazing component. The plastic glazing is a one-piece molded plastic construction. At least one of the first vehicle window glazing component and the second vehicle window glazing component is translucent or transparent

Systems, devices, and methods for replacing an existing truck cab braking light with an after-market or retrofit universal elongated light emitting diode (LED) light device which can easily replace existing truck cab rear facing brake lights, and do not require different types of light devices for different trucks, and can be rigidly sealed and seated against the rear of the truck cab with additional fasteners. The replacement light system include three sets of printed circuit boards having LEDS (light emitting diodes) that can be independently operated or operated together, in different colors, such as but not limited to red and white color emissions in various operating conditions.

A device comprising an organic light-emitting diode comprising an organic layer sequence, a radiation exit area and an encapsulation, wherein the organic layer sequence comprises at least one radiation-emitting region which generates electromagnetic radiation in the spectral range from infrared radiation to UV radiation during operation, and wherein the encapsulation forms a seal of the organic layer sequence against environmental influences, at least one touch-sensitive operating element, wherein the at least one touch-sensitive operating element comprises at least one touch sensor, wherein the device is flexible.
