Illuminated cup holder assembly

A cup holder assembly comprising:

• a cup holder body having a side wall, the side wall including an inner surface defining a cavity of the cup holder body;
• a cup holder liner composed of a light transmissive material, the cup holder liner including a peripheral wall disposed in the cavity, the peripheral wall extending between a top end and a bottom end, an interior surface of the peripheral wall defining a receptacle that is open at the top end of the peripheral wall, an exterior surface of the peripheral wall being spaced apart radially from the inner surface of the side wall to define a radial gap;
• and
• a lens disposed in the cavity of the cup holder body below the cup holder liner, the lens extending radially to a perimeter edge, the lens configured to receive light from a light source and direct the light towards the perimeter edge, the lens extending beyond the exterior surface of the peripheral wall to define a perimeter edge segment of the lens that protrudes from the exterior surface of the peripheral wall to the perimeter edge of the lens,
• wherein the lens is configured to emit light from the perimeter edge segment into the radial gap, the peripheral wall of the cup holder liner receiving light therein from the radial gap through the exterior surface to illuminate the interior surface.
