A grille for a motor vehicle includes a base extending around a perimeter of the grille, a light guide received in the base extending around the perimeter of the grille, a light source for illuminating the light guide when activated, and a lens covering the base and the light guide. A light blocker may mask an interior of the lens except at a portion where light from the light guide is to pass when the light guide is illuminated. A film covers an exterior of the lens and has a predetermined surface appearance when the light guide is not illuminated and allows light to pass through the film upon illumination of the light guide.
