A sensor thawing device, applied to a vehicle, discharges high-temperature air in a target direction, which is any one of left, right, down, and up directions, to an air discharge duct extended from a molding box coupled to a radiator grill, heats outside air introduced into a heat source line with a heat source including a heating wire to convert the outside air into high-temperature air, supplies the high-temperature air to an air distribution box, moves the air discharge duct in the target direction by forming the air pressure with a part of the high-temperature air by using an air pressure actuator, and supplies the air discharge duct with the remaining high-temperature air through a moving duct.

A badge mounting system that helps promote proper installation of different badges for different vehicle trim variants. The system utilizes a set of trim assembly components that include: a badge having a plurality of badge studs protruding rearwardly in a first pattern; a trim layer having a plurality of trim holes corresponding to the plurality of badge studs and arranged in the first pattern; and a backing plate having a backing plate body with an outer perimeter circumscribing a plurality of recesses extending into the backing plate body, wherein the plurality of badge studs mate with a subset of the plurality of recesses that together form the first pattern, and wherein the first pattern of badge studs is arranged such that the badge can be mounted to the backing plate through the trim layer in only a single orientation of the badge relative to the trim layer.

A frunk lighting system applied to a vehicle is mounted on a hood provided with an emblem on a front of the vehicle to cover or open a space of a frunk, and has an illuminating direction of light emitted by a light source changed into lighting for the emblem and lighting for the frunk by movement of a rotating mechanism connected to a motor whose rotating direction is changed by a closing signal and an opening signal of the hood, thereby easily implementing an appearance design suitable for a future motorized vehicle with a light-emitting effect for the front emblem of the vehicle, and particularly, automatically switches the lighting, which has illuminated the emblem in a state where the hood is closed, toward the frunk to illuminate a frunk space, thereby maximizing visibility and usability of the frunk.
