A roof panel module for a vehicle that includes a frame of the roof panel module connectable to a vehicle. The frame includes an opening that extends between an inside surface and outside surface of the frame. The frame further includes an inner piece having a plurality of inner flanges and an outside piece having a plurality of outside flanges which allows bonding of one of the plurality of inner flanges to one of the plurality of outer flanges. The roof panel module further includes a window extending across the opening on the outside surface of the frame that provides a viewing surface through a roof panel module of a vehicle. Connected to the frame is a light emission unit positioned within the opening of the frame. The light emission unit selectively emits light away from the inside surface of the frame and selectively emits light away from the outside surface of the frame.
