Abstract
In automotive interior lamp assemblies, the exposed surfaces of both a bezel (18) and a lens (20) are stippled with a pattern chosen to complement the texture of the material (15) surrounding the bezel. Additionally, the color of the bezel (18) is substantially identical to the color of the lens (20) when the lamp assembly is extinguished.
