Zusammenfassung:	An interior component having an illuminated portion comprises a trim cover positioned over a substrate. At least one light conductive element is in communication with an illumination source. A carrier engages the trim cover. The carrier further secures the light conductive element to the trim cover. The carrier has a plurality of windows formed therethrough such that the light conductive element is visible through the plurality of windows. The illuminated portion may further include an emblem in communication with the light source. The illuminated interior component may be formed by a method that includes the steps of forming a light conductive element that includes extruding an optical guide and a carrier having a mounting tab thereon. Cette invention concerne un composant intérieur ayant une partie éclairée et comprenant un couvercle de garniture positionné sur un substrat. Au moins un élément conducteur de lumière est en communication avec une source d'éclairage. Un support vient en prise avec le couvercle de garniture. Le support fixe en outre l'élément conducteur de lumière au couvercle de garniture. Le support présente une pluralité de fenêtres formées à travers celui-ci de sorte que l'élément conducteur de lumière soit visible à travers la pluralité de fenêtres. La partie éclairée peut en outre comprendre un emblème en communication avec la source de lumière. Le composant intérieur illuminé peut être formé par un procédé comprenant l'étape consistant à former un élément conducteur de lumière, qui comprend l'extrusion d'un guide optique et d'un support ayant une patte de montage sur celui-ci.
