A self-powered illumination assembly for a vehicle includes a closure panel and a sill protector mounted adjacent to the closure panel. An energy harvesting device is configured to convert ambient energy to electrical energy. A storage device is electrically connected to the energy harvesting device to store the electrical energy. An illumination member is electrically connected to the storage device and is configured to be illuminated by electrical energy supplied from the storage device. A sensor is connected to the sill protector and is configured to supply the stored electrical energy to the illumination member when movement of the closure panel is detected.
