A vehicular dual mode illumination module includes mounting structure configured for mounting at a vehicle, a first light emitting diode (LED) operable to emit visible white light when electrically powered, and a second near-infrared (near-IR) LED operable to emit non-visible near-IR light when electrically powered. When the vehicle is parked and the first LED is electrically powered, the first LED emits visible white light to provide visible illumination at a first region exterior the vehicle. Electrical powering of the first LED is locked-out during movement of the vehicle. When the second near-IR LED is electrically powered, the second near-IR LED emits non-visible near-IR light to illuminate a second region exterior the vehicle and to provide non-visible illumination for a camera viewing the second region. Electrical powering of the second near-IR LED is not locked-out during movement of the vehicle.
