Fiber optic auxilliary lighting system
A lighting device is provided that includes a housing containing a light emitting portion of a light emitting diode and a terminus of a fiber optic bundle such that light emission from the light emitting diode is communicated along the optical fibers. The fiber optic bundle has a flattened distal portion with a cross-sectional array of layers of optical fibers. A diffusing layer is attached to the fiber optic bundle overlying the flattened distal portion. The lighting device, upon being overlaid with a graphic and surrounded by a frame through which the graphic is visible, provides a vehicle lighting assembly securable to a vehicle substrate. The vehicle light assembly is particularly well suited for vehicle exterior badging, kick plates and vanity lighting within the vehicle passenger compartment.

Vehicle accessory touch switch
A touch switch for controlling accessory equipment of a vehicle avoids a malfunction which is caused due to an environmental change such as a change in a state of air, arrival of unnecessary electromagnetic waves, or the like. Conductor plates 20-1 to 20-3 are disposed in an arrangement isolated from one another on a surface opposite to a sensor surface 16T of a touch plate 16 which is touched by a person's hand. The conductor plates 20-1 to 20-3 are each connected to a capacity measurement / control unit 34. The capacity measurement / control unit 34 determines as a judgment value D the absolute value of a value obtained by subtracting a minimum absolute value among changes ΔC1 to ΔC3 in electrostatic capacity from a maximum absolute value among the changes ΔC1 to ΔC3 in electrostatic capacity. The capacity measurement / control unit 34 controls a switch 28 according to the judgment value D.
