The M203 can fire both star clusters and parachute flares, those being the only "illumination grenades" I'm aware of.

Star clusters are used for signaling, not illumination.

Parachute flares are a relic of the days when night vision technology was both uncommon and undeveloped, and they were used to cast light on things such as advancing enemy formations at nighttime.

In the film Leon The Professional Leon has multiple grenades strapped to his vest which look like smoke grenades but are depicted as frag grenades what are they?

Concussion grenades. In an enclosed space they kill by overpressure. They are similar to a stun grenade, however a stun grenade is very little bang with a lot of flash to disorient the subject. In close proximity a stun grenade can rupture ear drums and force eyeballs from their sockets. Concussion grenades are a lot of bang with little flash and almost no shrapnel effects. Concussion grenades are normally called defensive grenades as they are designed for use outdoors to disorient enemy soldiers, whereas a stun grenade is useless outside as there is no walls to reflect the sound waves and the flash is diminished. A fragmentation grenade or offensive grenade has less explosive than a concussion grenade, however it is designed to fragment, and those shrapnel fragments are designed to would or kill in addition to the blast effect of the explosion itself.
