Abstract
A seat belt retractor assembly includes lighting means for illuminating areas of a vehicle floor adjacent the retractor assembly. The preferred retractor assembly includes a plastic housing which has an opening with a lamp mounted on it to shine light through the opening. Herein, a pair of forward and rearward lamps are mounted on the same housing that covers an internal retractor assembly having a pair of seat belt retractors for a lap belt and a shoulder belt portions of an elongated seat belt. The lights are electrically connected to switches having sensing means for determining whether the vehicle doors are open or closed so that the lights may be selectively activated depending on whether the doors are opened or closed.
