A light guide for a light system of a vehicle and a method of forming the light guide are disclosed herein. The light system comprises the light guide, a light source proximate the guide, and a receiving feature coupled to the vehicle. The light guide comprises a core portion having a light transmissive body, a reflective portion, an absorptive portion, and an attachment feature. The reflective portion is disposed about the core portion along the length of the body. The absorptive portion is disposed about the reflective portion along the length of the reflective portion. The attachment feature extends outwardly from the absorptive portion and is configured to be engaged with the receiving feature coupled to the vehicle.

A system (100) and method (900) for illuminating the interior space (90) of a trailer (84). The system (100) can utilize a power box (200) to draw and store electricity from a tractor (82) and use that electricity to activate LED assemblies (300) within the trailer (84) is untethered from the tractor (82). The lights (310) can be activated by a motion sensor (340) associated with the location of the lights (310) being activated.

A vehicular interior lighting device includes a main body portion fixed to an inside surface of a roof, a light source accommodated in the main body portion, a light shielding cover portion constituting a housing with the main body portion and covering the light source from below, and a light guide member having a protruding portion protruding along the inside surface from a gap between the main body portion and the cover portion. The light guide member has a diffusion portion formed on a surface of the protruding portion facing downward and diffusing light, a first light guide portion guiding light emitted from the light source to the protruding portion, and a reflecting portion reflecting light guided by the first light guide portion toward the diffusion portion.

A light for an interior of a vehicle is provided. The light has two or more light modules. In an installed state, the light modules are mounted on a supporting structure in the vehicle and disposed in series along a profile line. In the installed state, each two adjacent light modules are fixedly attached to each other, such that all light modules that are fixedly attached to each other together form an integral light strip. The light strip has a first region and at least one second region. The first region of the light strip is fixedly attached to the supporting structure. The at least one second region of the light strip is movably supported on the supporting structure.

A vehicle apparatus configured to selectively position and enclose an opening formed in at least one panel of a vehicle comprises a sliding panel and a positioning mechanism. The sliding panel comprises an electrical device in communication with a control circuit of the vehicle and the positioning mechanism is configured to slidably position the sliding panel along a positioning track between an open position and a closed position. A control connection is configured to transmit a control signals between the control circuit of the vehicle and the electrical device. The control connection extends from a portion of the vehicle to a connection interface of the electrical device, and the connection apparatus is configured to communicate a control signal to adjust an operating state of the electrical device in both the open position and the closed position.

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.

An illuminating system includes a lighting assembly with at least one light emitting diode, a window provided in a sidewall panel of a vehicle cabin, at least one light transmissive panel with indicia, and a control unit for controlling operation of the lighting assembly. The lighting assembly mounted proximate a side of window in the sidewall panel and configured to emit light onto the sidewall panel and/or the indicia.
