An assembly for a vehicle includes first and second interior trim components with a gap or seam between them, and first and second lighting assemblies. The first lighting assembly includes a first light source and a first light receptacle into which light is emitted from the first light source and from which light is emitted onto the first interior trim component. The second lighting assembly includes a second light source and a second light receptacle into which light is emitted from the second light source and from which light is emitted onto the second interior trim component. The first light receptacle overlaps the second light receptacle and light from one or both of the first light receptacle and the second light receptacle is emitted onto the first interior trim component, the gap and the second interior trim component.

A light emitting device emitting an output light includes a light adjustment structure. A sub light is defined as the output light corresponding to an azimuth angle, a first value L1 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 115 to 125 degrees, a second value L2 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 95 to 105 degrees, a third value L3 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 75 to 85 degrees, a fourth value L4 is a sum of a luminance of the sub light corresponding to a polar angle from 55 to 65 degrees. The first value L1, the second value L2, the third value L3 and the fourth value L4 satisfy L3<L2, and 1.23(L1*L3)/(L2*L4)2.92.

An illuminable vehicle component includes a visible side and a component surface that is arranged on the visible side and provided with a three-dimensional structure pattern. At least one first light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates first structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on second structure portions. At least one second light-producing device is arranged in a defined position relative to the component surface such that light emitted thereby illuminates the second structure portions and generates a shadow that is cast on the first structure portions.
