Abstract: A vehicle includes a light assembly and an electric control module. The light assembly is assembled to an underbody of the vehicle. The light assembly has a light bar and an image projector. The light bar has a plurality of first light sources. The image projector has a housing that is fitted to a longitudinal end of the light bar. The housing has a circuit board and an emitting portion that houses a second light source. The circuit board is electrically connected to the second light source to regulate electric current to the light source. The electric control module is electrically connected to the light bar and the circuit board to provide electrical power to both the light bar and the image projector.

Abstract: A vehicle comprises an image projector assembled to an underbody of the vehicle. The image projector has a bracket, a housing and an image emitter. The bracket is fixed to the underbody. The bracket has a plurality of first indentations. The housing has a plurality of second indentations that mate with the first indentations. The housing is adjustably disposed with respect to the bracket along the first and second indentations. The image emitter is provided in the housing and at least partially extends from the housing. The angle between the image emitter and the bracket changes as the housing is adjusted with respect to the bracket.

Abstract: A vehicle panel assembly comprises a trim assembly, a light and a sensor. The trim assembly defines a recessed storage area. The light is disposed on the trim assembly and configured to emit visible light toward the recessed storage area. The sensor is disposed on the trim assembly proximate to the recessed storage area and configured to activate the light to emit the visible light upon the sensor sensing a presence of an object entering an area proximate to the sensor that includes the recessed storage area.
