Techniques for constructing and controlling a vehicle light assembly

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• transmitting, at a lighting effects engine, a first lighting routine to a light controller coupled to a light assembly having a printed circuit board (PCB) layer that can be attached to a vehicle component, an adhesive layer that attaches the PCB layer directly to the vehicle component, and a set of light sources mounted on the PCB layer, wherein the PCB layer has a shape that conforms to a shape of the vehicle component, and wherein the PCB layer is perforated with a plurality of holes to allow sound to penetrate through the PCB layer;
• and
• controlling, at the light controller, the set of light sources to generate a lighting effect within an interior of a vehicle based on the first lighting routine.

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform steps of:

• transmitting, at a lighting effects engine, a first lighting routine to a light controller coupled to a light assembly having a printed circuit board (PCB) layer that can be attached to a vehicle component and has a shape that corresponds to a shape of the vehicle component and that is perforated with a plurality of holes to allow sound to penetrate through the PCB layer, an adhesive layer that attaches the PCB layer directly to a vehicle component, and a set of light sources mounted on the PCB layer;
• and
• controlling, at the light controller, the set of light sources to generate a lighting effect within an interior of a vehicle based on the first lighting routine.
