A lighting device for a grab handle in a vehicle includes the grab handle disposed in a passenger compartment, a lamp embedded in the grab handle, a key sensor capable of detecting an approach of a user having a key into a given range around the vehicle, and a lighting controller configured to control lighting mode of the lamp. The lighting controller controls the lamp [1] to light the lamp in a first lighting mode when user's approach information is input to the lighting controller, [2] to light the lamp in a second lighting mode when lock/unlock information of a door is input to the lighting controller, or [3] to light the lamp in a third lighting mode when open/close information of the door is input to the lighting controller.

A vehicle seat includes an illuminated graphic feature. The vehicle seat includes an occupant support. The vehicle seat also includes a light source supported on the occupant support. The light source emits light in an illumination direction when activated. The seat also includes a graphic image that the light that travels in the illumination direction. A cover layer is located in the illumination direction from the graphic image. An illuminated graphic feature is visible through the cover layer when the light source is activated.

A light module (100, 400, 600, 900, 1600) for a lighting device of a vehicle comprises a light source part and an outer housing (101) enclosing the light source part and having at least a first surface (103) and a second surface (104). The first surface of the outer housing comprises a first interlock shape (201, 202, 1001) and the second surface comprises a second interlock shape (201, 202, 901) arranged to be at least mechanically compatible with the first interlock shape. Two similar light modules are at least mechanically connectable to each other by connecting the first interlock shape of one of the light modules to the second interlock shape of the other light module. At least one of said first and second interlock shapes is continuous in a first direction (105, 905) and periodic in a second direction (106, 906). The first and the second direction are directions parallel to the surface on which the interlock shape is arranged.

A decorative component for an interior space of a motor vehicle includes an at least translucent first layer. The first layer has at least one first light-refraction edge. The decorative component further includes an at least translucent further layer which is placed areally on a preceding layer, wherein the further layer has at least one further light-refraction edge. At least some of the light-refraction edges of successive layers are positioned laterally offset with respect to one another for the purpose of creating a visual three-dimensional depth effect.
