Illuminated vehicle interior component

The invention discloses an illuminated vehicle interior component. A vehicle interior assembly includes an interior trim component at least partially enclosing a storage volume (29) and having a recessed compartment (30). The interior trim component is configured to transition between a first position, a second position, and a third position relative to a support structure. The vehicle interior assembly also includes a first light transmissive element (46, 48) coupled to the interior trim component and configured to illuminate an exterior surface of the interior trim component. In addition, the vehicle interior assembly includes a second light transmissive element (62) coupled to the interior trim component and configured to illuminate a first interior (32) of the recessed compartment. The vehicle interior assembly further includes a light source (38) coupled to the support structure. The light source is positioned to optically communicate with the first light transmissive element while the interior trim component is located in the first position, to optically communicate with the second light transmissive element while the interior trim component is located in the second position, and to otherwise illuminate a second interior of the storage volume.
