Abstract

A vehicular illumination module includes a housing, a circuit board accommodated by the housing, an illumination source disposed at the circuit board, and a freeformed lens optic accommodated by the housing. With the illumination source operated to emit light, light emitted by the illumination source passes through the freeformed lens optic and through an outer cover of the housing. The freeformed lens optic is configured such that light emitted by the illumination source that passes through the freeformed lens optic and through the outer cover provides illumination at an illuminated region. The illumination includes background illumination of the illuminated region. Within the illuminated region, a logo is formed by light emitted by the illumination source that passes through the freeformed lens optic. The logo formed by the freeformed lens optic has a light intensity greater than the light intensity of the background illumination of the illuminated region.
