A first panel has a first attachment structure and a contoured section adjacent to the first attachment structure. A second panel has outboard and inboard surfaces with a peripheral edge defined therebetween. The outboard surface has a lighting element retaining structure and a second attachment structure attached to the first attachment structure. The second panel conceals the first attachment portion with a first edge section thereof extending along the contoured section spaced apart from the contoured section defining a gap therebetween. A lighting element is installed to the lighting element retaining structure and illuminates the contoured section via light emitted through the gap. The contoured section and the first edge section are dimensioned to obstruct sightlines between the lighting element and areas inboard of the first panel and the second panel while exposing the contoured section illuminated by the lighting element.
