An automotive vehicle illumination mechanism for an instrument cluster dial includes a transparent light guide (20) having a generally planar front surface, at least one semi-circular light socket (24), and at least one dial socket (25), a light source (22) arranged within the light socket (24) for directing light into the light guide (20), a lens (40) having a focal axis (41) arranged adjacent the light source (22) and within the light socket (24) for collecting the light from the light source (22) and transmitting the light with a predetermined spread angle toward the dial socket (25), and a plurality of reflective surfaces (38), distributed in a fan-like arrangement about the focal axis and intermediate the lens (40) and the dial socket (25), for redirecting light received from the lens (40) toward the dial (16). <IMAGE> |
