A lighting device (,) for arrangement on the external or internal rear view mirror of a motor vehicle is provided with a light source (,), the light rays of which emerge at a mirror housing opening and are deflected at a transparent light refraction element (,) arranged in the beam path. The plate-like light refraction element (,) has, at least on one side, a surface structure (,) by means of which the light refraction element is divided into several light refraction zones. To achieve a deflection of the light into a preferred direction the light refraction element (,) is designed in the manner of a Fresnel prism (,), the light refraction zones corresponding to prism zones of a prism body which are pushed together in stepwise manner. To intensify the deflection of the light beam into the preferred direction a decentralized condenser lens (,) may be arranged in front of the Fresnel prism (,).

Lighting device for a motor vehicle

A lighting device for attachment to a motor vehicle inside a housing 4. One or more light emitting diodes 9 which emit substantially white light are employed as lighting emitters. On account of the small amount of waste heat of the light-emitting diodes 9 the lighting device can be particularly easily integrated into existing subassemblies of the motor vehicle, in particular into the outside mirrors, inside mirror, trim strips and door handles, and can serve to illuminate the region around the vehicle or the interior of the vehicle.

Lighting device for motor vehicles

A cap for an external side view mirror for a motor vehicle which facilitates the ability of an observer to determine the position of the vehicle. To accomplish this, a light-reflecting strip or triangular pyramidal reflector prisms, for example, are applied to the cap.

Cap for external side view mirror of a motor vehicle

A wide angle lens for a vehicle rear window is movably held in a guide device which is fixed to the body of the vehicle. The lens can be moved out of the rear view field of vision of the driver for normal forward driving namely, it can be moved along the guide device. The lens is brought into the rearward field of vision only when the vehicle is to be maneuvered in reverse.
