An illuminated vehicle trim 10 includes an outer cover 18, a resiliently compressible spacer layer 16, and a light source 21. The outer cover 18 and the spacer layer 16 each have outer and inner surfaces, the outer surface of the spacer layer facing the inner surface of the cover. The light source is operable to direct light through the spacer layer and the cover. The cover may be opaque and perforated 39 and may be made of leather, which may be skived and/or bi-cast. The light source may include a light plate 14 and light guide 20, with light from a light emitter directed through the light guide, into the light plate and then into the spacer layer. Alternatively the light emitter may be a light emitting film (48, fig. 4), e.g. an OLED. The light plate or film may be mounted to a supporting substrate 12 which may be an integral part of the vehicle, e.g. a body panel or dashboard. The trim 10 may be provided as a laminated trim panel. There may also be a light altering interlayer (46, fig. 2) between the spacer layer and the outer cover.
