A transparent roof panel assembly for a vehicle roof comprises a panel (3) having a transparent area. The panel is configured to be arranged over an opening (1) in the vehicle roof (2) to allow visible light to pass through the transparent area between an exterior of the vehicle and an interior (11) of the vehicle. A light source (8) is arranged to provide light in the panel. An in-coupling element (13) couples light into the panel from the interior side of the panel, the in-coupling element being attached to the interior side of the panel and redirecting light from the light source into the panel.The in-coupling element (13) may be partly covered towards the interior of the vehicle, with the exception of a selected area (16), such that light is able to pass from the in-coupling element towards the interior (11) through the selected area. The in-coupling element (13) is attached to the interior side of the panel (3) by means of an adhering material accommodated in a chamber (4) formed between the in-coupling element and the panel. The invention includes many more aspects.
