A vehicle light strip is provided herein. The vehicle light strip includes a light-producing assembly including a plurality of light sources arranged as a strip attached to a panel. The light-producing assembly is angled in a downward direction to illuminate a ground surface. A photoluminescent structure is disposed on the light-producing assembly and is configured to luminesce in response to excitation by the plurality of light sources. One or more retroreflective beads is configured to reflect an incident light directed towards the light-producing assembly. An optic is operably coupled with the light-producing assembly and is disposed externally of the one or more retroreflective beads for distributing an excitation light in a predefined direction.
