Abstract
The lighting assembly () includes a light guide () formed of a resin material propagating light through internal reflection. A housing () surrounds the light guide () and maintains the light guide () in a predetermined position. A light transmissive coating (), such as a vacuum metalized coating, is disposed on the light guide () and faces outwardly of the housing (). The light transmissive coating () disguises the resin light guide () so that the light guide () appears to be a metallic trim. A non-light transmissive coating (), such as a paint, appearing to be the same material as the light transmissive coating (), may be disposed on the light guide () adjacent the light transmissive coating ().
