A light pipe is provided that includes a light transmissive medium having an input at one end and configured to be operatively coupled to a light source, wherein the light transmissive medium defines a first portion connected to a second portion via a first bend portion of about 90°, and a series of prisms formed in the light transmissive medium, each prism having a V-shaped groove with an incline angle of about 45°, wherein each prism has a depth and a length that increases from the first portion to the second portion, and wherein a separation gap between adjacent prisms decreases from the first portion to the second portion. The light pipe may have third and fourth portions and form a U-shape.

A seamless lighting arrangement for a vehicle panel. The vehicle panel has an inside surface and an outside surface. The vehicle panel has a light aperture extending from the inside surface of the vehicle panel to the outside surface of the vehicle panel. Connected to the inside surface of the vehicle panel is a bracket. The seamless lighting arrangement further includes a lens with a bracket connection portion that connects to the bracket and a transmission portion positioned within the light aperture of the vehicle panel. The lens further includes a light unit fixedly connected to the lens. The light unit has a projector port for emitting light from a light source. The light transmission portion of the lens has a light input surface region formed on an inside surface of the lens and a light output surface region formed on an outside surface of the lens.

A cabin light includes a panel coupled with a light source. The panel includes a pair of longitudinal portions extending along a longitudinal axis of the cabin light, a first lateral portion extending between the longitudinal portions along a lateral axis of the cabin light, and a second lateral portion extending between the longitudinal portions along the lateral axis. Each longitudinal portion includes a first surface and a second surface disposed at an offset from the first surface. The first lateral portion defines a first length and includes a first raised surface. The second lateral portion defines a second length, and includes a second raised surface. The cabin light also includes cover in alignment with the light source. The cabin light further includes a switch disposed between the cover and the second lateral portion.

A vehicle interior lighting assembly includes a roof structure, a headliner and a light source. The roof structure has a lower surface portion located inboard of the outer periphery. The headliner is supported to the outer periphery of vehicle roof structure. The headliner has a central opening defined by an inner edge portion of the headliner. The opening exposes a portion of the roof structure. The inner edge portion of the headliner is spaced apart from the lower surface portion of the vehicle roof structure such that a gap is defined between the vehicle roof structure and inner edge portion of the headliner. The light source is installed to the lower surface portion of the vehicle roof structure such that when the light source is illuminated, light is emitted through the gap between the vehicle roof structure and inner edge portion of the headliner.

A vehicular overhead console module includes a base portion configured to attach at an interior cabin portion of a vehicle. A light source is accommodated by the base portion and is electrically operable to emit light. A light transmitting panel is disposed at the base portion and includes an electrically dimmable medium. The electrically dimmable medium is adjustable at least between a first light transmission state, where the light transmitting panel has a first level of light transmissivity, and a second light transmission state, where the light transmitting panel has a second level of light transmissivity. The first level of light transmissivity is greater than the second level of light transmissivity. When the electrically dimmable medium is at the first light transmission state, light emitted by the light source passes through the light transmitting panel to illuminate at least a portion of an interior cabin of the vehicle.

A vehicular overhead console module includes a base portion configured to attach at an interior portion of a vehicle, a primary printed circuit board (primary PCB) accommodated by the base portion, and a secondary printed circuit board (secondary PCB) accommodated by the base portion and spaced from the primary PCB. The secondary PCB is electrically connected to an electronic component accommodated by the base portion and includes electronic circuitry associated with the electronic component. Electronic circuitry of the primary PCB includes a processor for processing electronic signals received from the secondary PCB. The primary PCB and the secondary PCB are secured at the base portion via one or more press-fit pins of the base portion. A flexible electrical connection electrically connects the primary PCB and the secondary PCB and flexes to conform to an inner surface of the base portion.
