A light assembly for a vehicle includes quantum dots that are excitable by sources of electromagnetic radiation. The assembly may include a lens and a reflector, and the quantum dots may be disposed adjacent the reflector and/or in the lens. A controller may receive a signal to produce a particular color and activate one or more source of electromagnetic radiation, and one or more subsets of the quantum dots may be excited in response to activating the particular source of electromagnetic radiation. The assembly may include a panel having quantum dots embedded therein. The panel may be illuminated by the quantum dots in response to activating one or more source of electromagnetic radiation. The panel may have different zones with different quantum dots that produces distinct areas with different colors. The sources of electromagnetic radiation may be activated separately to produce different colors or simultaneously to produce a blended color.
