A vehicle lighting system is provided primarily for use with emergency response vehicles. The vehicle lighting system includes at least one luminescent planar sheet affixed to a vehicle's mounting surface. The luminescent planar sheet includes a non-luminescent printed circuit board in the shape of a letter or number which has a top surface of a color which contrasts with the mounting surface's color. The luminescent planar sheet includes a plurality of light emitting LEDs which are surface mounted upon the printed circuit board so as to be arranged in the shape of the desired letter or number with the LEDs covering no more than 20% of the printed circuit board's top surface. Preferably, the LEDs cover no more than 7% the printed circuit board's top surface.

A advertising and decorative license plate frame system employ methods to personalize license plates, such as through the use of illumination or graphics design for use with a vehicle such as an automobile, truck, motorcycle, or the like. The present invention includes a back plate and a front cover shaped to surround the perimeter of a standard license plate without covering identifying numbers or letters of the plate indicia. The front cover is typically a sheet having a surface area with a 3D raised imprint and/or printed indicia including pictures and/or text. The back plate whereas the lighting assembly is typically mounted and within the illumination frame housing to illuminate embossed figures or symbols on the exterior of the front cover. The lighting assembly preferably includes a plurality of light emitting diodes (LEDs) electrically connected via wires to an electrical power source (such as the vehicle's battery).
