Protection device for a motor vehicle interior having a flexible fabric which is displaceable along a guide direction between a compact, stored rest position and a protection position, outstretched flat at least in sections, a guide device fixed to the vehicle, in a mounted state, on which the flexible fabric is guided in a linear manner along the guide direction. At least one luminous element is provided which is associated with the flexible fabric and which emits light onto the flexible fabric in an operating state. At least one carrier element is provided, the luminous element being positively joined thereby to the guide device.

Vehicle headliner with an integrated lighting module having a spotlighting function and manufacturing process thereof. Particularly the lighting module is attached to the back side of the headliner which is configured to emit a quality spotlighting beam L4 and to have a good aesthetic appearance. The headliner mainly comprises a substrate, a positioner frame, a decorative lining and a transparent sheet having diffusing areas and the lighting module comprises a printed circuit board, several spotlighting LEDs connected to the printed circuit board and an one piece optics comprising several collimator lens.

An illumination module (1) for illuminating a region of a vehicle component (8), which includes a main body (9). The illumination module (1) includes a light source support (2) having at least one light source (3, 3) and a housing half shell (4), which is connectable to a wall region of the main body (9) of the vehicle component (8) such that a housing defined by the housing half shell (4) of the illumination module, on the one hand, and by the wall region of the main body (9) of the vehicle component (8), on the other hand, is formed. The light source support (2) has the at least one light source received in the housing, at least in regions, and the housing includes at least one light outlet region (5, 5), via which light emitted by the at least one light source can be decoupled from the housing.

A vehicle monitor apparatus including a mounting portion mounted on a ceiling surface in a vehicle cabin, a monitor portion including a base supported by the mounting portion, a light guide extending along a periphery of the base, and a spacer interposed between the base and the ceiling surface. The spacer is disposed inside a first area surrounded by the light guide and outside a second area in which the mounting portion is disposed, and composed of an elastic body elastically deformed by a compression force from the ceiling surface when the base is mounted on the ceiling surface through the mounting portion.

Lighting assemblies for interiors of vehicles, interior panels for interiors of vehicles, and vehicles are provided herein. In one example, the lighting assembly includes a backing structure having a first backing surface configured to face the interior when the lighting assembly is mounted in the vehicle. A bezel comprises a wall that extends from an outer edge portion to an inner edge portion. The inner edge portion is spaced apart from the first backing surface to define a gap and surrounds an opening that is configured to expose at least a portion of the first backing surface to the interior. A light source is disposed between the backing structure and the bezel and is covered by the wall. The light source is operative to produce light that passes from the light source through the gap onto the first backing surface and is reflected therefrom through the opening to the interior.
