Abstract: A vehicle light assembly is provided having a light source emitting light into a light pipe or tube extending along a portion of a vehicle. The light pipe casts light directly and uniformly upon a ground surface beneath a vehicle and/or a stepping surface of a running board, if such a running board is installed upon the vehicle, without directing excessive glare or light into the eyes of the user.

Abstract: A tonneau cover assembly for the open box of a pick-up truck includes a cover which is manufactured using an injection molding process. The cover is molded from a rigid polyurethane foam reaction injection molding (RIM) system. The cover is reinforced by a reinforcement frame and is attached to a mounting bracket using a hinge assembly. A slam action bracket secures the cover in its closed position and a pair of gas struts supports the cover in its open position. The mounting bracket is adapted to be secured to the pick-up box.

Abstract: A running board light assembly is provided having a light source emitting light into a light tube extending along the length of a running board. The light tube casts light directly and uniformly upon a stepping surface of the running board and upon a ground surface below the running board, without directing excessive glare or light into the eyes of the user.

Abstract: A multi-part running board assembly attachable to a vehicle, including a longitudinally extending deck, a decorative overlay which covers the deck, and a pair of end caps which partially overlap the ends of the deck and overlay is provided. The deck includes recessed areas for receiving tab members which extend downwardly from the bottom surface of the overlay to secure the overlay to the deck. The end caps typically include vertically projecting portions which preclude debris from being projected upon the outer surface of the overlay by the vehicle's tires.
