A seat panel for assembly into a rear surface of a seat assembly includes a light assembly which generates task lighting directed to a task area and of sufficient brightness to be useful in performing a task within the task area. The light assembly is selectively actuable to emit light through an aperture defined by the seat panel in a defined light pattern to illuminate a recessed space in the seat panel. The seat assembly when configured as a forward seat assembly of a vehicle provides task lighting for a passenger seated rearward of the forward seat assembly, to illuminate a task area which can include one or more of the exterior surface of the seat panel, a leg space between the forward seat assembly and the passenger's seat assembly, and/or a seat space generally including a portion of the upper leg and/or lap area of the passenger.

A lighting apparatus formed from a translucent cylindrical foam tube such as a white “pool noodle” that is soft, flexible, and resilient and has a flexible electrically powered internal illumination source such as an LED strip bearing multiple LEDs extending through its interior. The lighting apparatus is typically provided with electricity via a plug adapted for insertion into an automobile cigarette lighter socket, and is readily positioned along the interior edges of an automobile window for illumination of areas where window tint/film is being applied to the window. The lighting apparatus can also have a self-contained power source and be connected in series for added versatility and utility.

Disclosed are a lamp for a vehicle and a vehicle including the same. A lamp for a vehicle includes a lamp housing, a light source unit mounted on the lamp housing and that irradiates light, a bezel installed in the lamp housing, an optical fiber fixed to the bezel, coupled to the light source part, and that outputs the light irradiated from the light source part, and a tension unit provided in the bezel, and that applies a tension to the optical fiber in a state, in which the optical fiber is fixed to the bezel.

A vehicular accessory system includes an overhead console configured to mount at an interior portion of a vehicle, and an interior rearview mirror assembly having a mirror head mounted via mounting structure at the overhead console. The overhead console includes a base portion configured to attach at the interior portion of the vehicle to mount the overhead console at the interior portion and an extending portion that, with the overhead console mounted at the interior portion of the vehicle, extends from the base portion along and spaced from a headliner of the vehicle. The overhead console includes a light source that, with the overhead console mounted at the interior portion of the vehicle, and when electrically operated to emit light, light emitted by the light source illuminates a surface at the interior portion of the vehicle above the overhead console.

To provide a lamp unit in which rattling of a light-emitting element is prevented, a lamp unit includes: a holder member attached to an attachment object, a base board provided with a light-emitting element coupled on a main surface thereof; a retaining member that engages the holder member to sandwich the base board between the retaining member and the holder member such that the base board is retained at a prescribed position on the holder member; and a cover member that is at least partially light-transmissive and is attached to the holder member such that the cover member cooperates with the holder member to define a housing chamber for housing the base board and the retaining member.

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.
