Lighting device for motor vehicles

摘要

A lighting device (10) for motor vehicles comprises a light source (12) and an end cover (16) having at least a first section (18) and a second section (20). The lighting device (10) further comprises a first reflector (14), which directs light emitted by the light source (12) on to the end cover (16). A first optically active element (26) is arranged in the ray path between the light source (12) and the first reflector (14) and deflects the light rays emitted by the light source (12), so that the deflected rays strike the first reflector (14) at an angle of incidence, the associated angle of reflection of which causes the rays from the first reflector (14) to be directed at least substantially on to the second section (20) of the end cover (16).
