Elongate illuminated automotive design element

An elongate automotive illumination assembly including:

• an elongate housing;
• at least one light source;
• an elongate lens having an apex region and a pair of spaced-apart blade portions extending away from the apex region to define a generally V-shaped cross-section with the apex region including an elongate light emitting surface, the blade portions connecting to the elongate housing to define an enclosure, the apex region of the elongate lens defines a first repeating wave pattern profile, the first repeating wave pattern profile having a first amplitude;
• and
• an elongate light guide for guiding light from the at least one light source to the elongate light emitting surface, the elongate light guide including a body extending away from the at least one light source towards the elongate light emitting surface;
• wherein the light guide is housed within the enclosure and between the blades of the lens such that the light emitting surface of the light guide is adjacent to the light emitting surface of the lens.
