Abstract: The present invention provides a secondary lens between the display lens and the vacuum florescent display. Both the lenses have an index of refraction greater than 1 which results in a momentary change in the viewing angle while the light passes through each lens. Since two lenses are used, the overall effective lens thickness for effective light shifting is increased while the cross sectional thickness of each lens remains uniform. Preferably, each lens is made of a polycarbonate material and has an index of refraction of 1.59. In another aspect of the present invention, the display lens is constructed of a smoke material and the secondary lens is clear.

Abstract: A wire routing harness apparatus for use between a vehicle body and a liftgate pivotally mounted thereon. The apparatus includes a sheet-like body secured to the vehicle body, covering a portion of a wire from a remote location, and a hollow body secured to the liftgate, slidably mounted on the sheet-like body and adapted to having the wire extended therethrough. The hollow body may include two side-by-side slots formed therethrough for receiving a plurality of wires in each slot. The sheet-like body conforms to the shape of a portion of the vehicle body, and is mounted to be spaced apart therefrom to receive the portion of a wire therebetween.
