A display panel such as an automobile instrument panel is formed with a reflectively coated concave depression in an area where illumination of a legend or other device is required. The depression is slotted to afford insertion of a fiber optic ribbon which extends through the depression, which ribbon is remotely energized by a lamp to illuminate the depression. A clear plastic envelope for supporting the ribbon within the depression is assembled to the ribbon and the assembly is inserted into the slot from the rear of the instrument panel such that the slot holds the supporting envelope in place. A plurality of resilient tabs on the envelope engage the depression adjacent the slot to prevent removal of the assembly from the depression. An applique bearing a translucent legend or design covers the illuminated depression.
