Steering grip light bar systems

Various implementations include a light bar system for a steering wheel of a vehicle that includes a high intensity light source, a light diffusing layer, and an outer lens. For example, in certain implementations, the light diffusing layer is disposed between a plurality of high intensity light emitting diodes (LEDs) and an outer lens, and the light diffusing layer causes the light from the LEDs to appear as a continuous stream of light across a length of the lens and provides sufficiently bright lighting to warn or communicate with the driver in various ambient lighting conditions. In certain implementations, the outer lens is colored to blend in with the rest of the steering wheel when the LEDs are not activated. 各种实现方式包括用于车辆的转向盘的灯条系统，所述灯条系统包括高强度光源、光漫射层和外部透镜。例如，在某些实现方式中，所述光漫射层设置在多个高强度发光二极管(LED)与外部透镜之间，并且所述光漫射层致使来自所述LED的光表现为跨所述透镜的长度的连续光流并且在各种环境照明条件下提供足够明亮的照明以警告驾驶员或者与其通信。在某些实现方式中，所述外部透镜被着色成在所述LED未被激活时与所述转向盘的剩余部分相融。
