A vehicle headrest assembly including a light source for illuminating an occupant's space. The vehicle headrest assembly includes a housing operatively coupleable to a vehicle seatback and a cover at least partially surrounding the housing. At least a portion of the housing is constructed of translucent or transparent material allowing the light source to illuminate therethrough. The light source may be an LED or an electroluminescent material. Several headrest assemblies may be incorporated into a rideshare vehicle or public transport vehicle to provide indicators to passengers of assigned seating and notify passengers that they have arrived at their destination. The illumination from the headrest assembly may further be personalized by an occupant or driver by changing the color, brightness, and other settings.
