Illuminated steering assembly

摘要

A lighting system for a vehicle steering assembly is provided herein. The lighting system includes a member extending from a steering column. A light source is disposed on a steering wheel. A first photoluminescent structure is disposed on the member and configured to luminesce in response to excitation by the light source. In some embodiments, the light source may implement a thin design, thereby helping to fit the light source into small package spaces of the vehicle where traditional light sources may not be practicable.
