  • Publication number: 20070041204
    Abstract: There is provided a vehicle interior illuminating system. The system comprises a storage space arranged in the vehicle interior. The system comprises a light source arranged away from said storage space and irradiating light to the vehicle interior. The system further comprises a reflector arranged in the vehicle interior to reflect light irradiated from the light source and direct it to inside of the storage space. The reflector arranged in the vehicle interior may reflect the light from the light source and direct it to the inside of the storage space so as to illuminate it. Therefore, the inside of the storage space can be seen even in the dark, while volume of the storage space can be maintained since a light source dedicated for the storage space is not necessary.
