A vehicular rear window assembly includes a window panel having an inner glass panel and an outer glass panel laminated together. A lighting device includes a plurality of light sources arranged on a circuit element. The vehicular rear window assembly is configured to be disposed at a rear portion of a cabin of a vehicle. The lighting device is disposed between the inner glass panel and the outer glass panel. The light sources, when electrically powered, emit light that is visible through the outer glass panel of the window panel so as to be viewable by a person viewing the vehicular rear window assembly from exterior and rearward of the vehicle. At least some of the light sources of the lighting device are electrically powered responsive to actuation of a brake of the vehicle to provide a center high mounting stop lamp feature that is integrated within the window panel.
