A steering wheel and lightbar assembly includes a steering wheel having a rim. The rim includes an armature having a foamed portion and a non-foamed portion. A carrier is coupled to the rim and a printed circuit board (PCB) is disposed between the carrier and the rim. At least one light source is coupled to the PCB and may be a visible light or infrared light producing light source, for example. A lens is coupled to the carrier and covers the light source. The foamed portion of the armature comprises a first surface facing in a first direction and a second surface facing in a second direction, wherein the second direction is different than the first direction. The carrier comprises a platform adjacent the second surface and a gap is defined between the lens and the platform. An outer skin is tucked into the gap.
