Abstract: A vehicle instrument panel assembly that includes a pointer, a light source, and a light pipe. The pointer is movable about an axis to point to indicia on a display surface of the assembly. The pointer defines a shaft portion of the pointer that rotates about the axis. The light source is configured to emit light into the shaft to illuminate the pointer. The light pipe is arranged on the display surface and proximate to a sweep path of a tip of the pointer. The pointer is further configured to project light from the light source into the light pipe.

Abstract: A vehicle instrument panel assembly configured to verify that light sources of the assembly are operating properly is provided. The assembly includes a first light source, a second light source, a light detector, and a controller. The first light source is operable to emit light having a first modulation. The second light source is operable to emit light having a second modulation distinguishable from the first modulation. The light detector is configured to detect light emitted by the first light source and the second light source. The controller is configured to receive a detection signal from the light detector effective for the controller to determine if the first light source and the second light source are operating properly.
