[0009] The ambient light cover is made of a semi-transparent, frosted white material. The light transmitted through the light guide can be displayed to the outside world through the ambient light cover, making it easy to display warning icons.

[0010] The door handle assembly includes a door handle body, a door handle cover that is snapped onto the upper side of the door handle body, and a door handle back cover that is snapped onto the rear side of the door handle body, which facilitates the quick installation and removal of the door handle assembly.

[0011] A mask opening is provided between the door handle body and the door handle cover. The ambient light mask is set inside the mask opening, and the light will be displayed through the mask opening, making it easy for pedestrians to notice the side of the car door.

[0012] The ambient light cover has several locking strips, which connect it to the door handle cover via clips. The bottom of the ambient light cover has multiple screw seats, and the door handle body has screws that fit the screw seats to fix the ambient light assembly to the door handle assembly. The locking strips and screw seats can firmly fix the ambient light assembly inside the door handle assembly, making it less prone to loosening during use and ensuring the warning effect of the warning mechanism.

[0013] The warning lights are brightly colored so that they can attract the attention of pedestrians when the lights are on, making it easier for them to avoid the car doors.

[0014] In summary, compared with the prior art, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. When this utility model is used, it expands the application scenarios of ambient lights, enabling them to provide light warnings when car doors are opened, thereby reducing traffic accidents caused by sudden door opening and improving road safety.

[0016] 2. When using this utility model, the ambient light can be reused as a warning light source, eliminating the need for additional independent warning devices, saving interior space in the car door and reducing modification costs.

[0017] 3. When using this utility model, the double fixing of buckles and screws (the face mask and the top cover are snapped together, and the base is locked with screws) is vibration-resistant and prevents loosening, ensuring long-term reliability. Attached Figure Description
