An article of manufacture including a substrate and a coating including a colorant covering all or a portion of the substrate. The coating includes a plurality of bubbles that create material voids in the coating. The plurality of bubbles limit change in color by the colorant of any light transmitted through the article of manufacture. The article of manufacture is included in a panel to be installed in a vehicle. A method of manufacturing is also disclosed.

Illuminated body panels including optics having coating with bubbles and method

A light including: a housing that is connectable to a vehicle, the housing including: an upper housing with a lens that form an outermost lens of the light and a lower housing that is a heat sink, wherein the upper housing and the lower housing form an entire housing that is divided into three or more segments that include: a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment; a printed circuit board between the upper housing and the lower housing, wherein the printed circuit board is in thermal communication with the lower housing; and one or more light sources located within each of the three or more segments to generate light, the one or more light sources in communication with the lower housing via the printed circuit board; wherein the light generated in the first segment, the second segment, and the third segment are all directed through the lens.

Reconfigurable light that provides multiple different light configurations from a single housing and controlling the reconfigurable light

A light having a housing that is connectable to a vehicle; reflectors located within the housing and being divided into three or more segments so that the light comprises: a first segment, a second segment, and a third segment; and a plurality of light sources located within each of the three or more segments, the light sources include: a first light state and a second light state; wherein the first segment is illuminated by first lights with the first light state respectively to generate a first light type, wherein the first segment includes first lights with the second light state to generate a second light type that is different than the first light type; and wherein the second segment includes first lights with a first light state that produce a first light type that is identical to the second light type to create a single light.
