A decorative element for the exterior of a vehicle includes a first component made of a first plastic and a second component made of a second plastic. The components are connected together, where the second component forms a translucent region, the first plastic can be galvanized, and the second plastic is made of silicone. A vehicle includes such a decorative element and a method is provided to produce the decorative element.

A decorative cover element for a headlight of a vehicle includes a translucent element, a partially transparent element, and a light-guiding element. The translucent element, in the installed state, forms an outer skin of the vehicle and a safeguard for the headlight. The partially transparent element has translucent sections and opaque sections. The light-guiding element is designed to decouple coupled-in light at least in sections in the direction of the translucent element. The partially transparent element is arranged between the translucent element and the light-guiding element. In the installed state, the translucent sections and the opaque sections of the partially transparent element are at least partially arranged adjacent to the headlight.

A decorative element for a vehicle includes a partially transparent element having light-permeable portions and light-impermeable portions, and a light-guiding element which is configured to couple out, at least in some portions in the direction of the partially transparent element, light which has been coupled in. The partially transparent element and the light-guiding element are permeable for radar beams. A molding material layer is arranged between the partially transparent element and the light-guiding element, and is permeable for the light coupled out from the light-guiding element and for the radar beams. The molding material layer connects the partially transparent element to the light-guiding element.

A method for the variothermal temperature control of an injection mould using a temperature control device, the method including at least the following steps: in a learning phase, determining a temperature control characteristic of the temperature-controllable system including at least the injection mould and the temperature control device, in order to obtain individual reference values for the system, with which the temperature control device can be controlled in order to obtain a nominal temperature profile; and in a production phase: temperature control of the injection mould with the reference values determined during the learning phase; determining deviations of an actual temperature profile of the injection mould in relation to the nominal temperature profile during the production cycle and calculating corrected reference values from these deviations; and carrying out a resulting production process using the corrected reference values.
