A lighting device for vehicles having an optical fiber including a flat segment with two opposing flat sides, a light decoupling area, and a light coupling area. The light decoupling area in which light relayed by the flat sides is output in the primary direction of emission. The light coupling area couples the light into the optical fiber, and is arranged on a free end of a light coupling element which is perpendicular to the flat segment and projects from the same. A deflection structure is arranged between the light coupling element and the flat segment for the purpose of deflecting the light toward the flat segment. A rigid circuit board runs parallel to the flat segment. The circuit board is configured with a number of light sources which are each functionally assigned to the light coupling elements.

Lighting device for vehicles

A headlight for a vehicle has a pot-shaped housing (1) which is closed at its front side by a light-transmissive shield (2). A reflector (4, 13) is mounted in an interior space formed by the light-transmissive shield and the housing. An opaque shield (5) covers at least a partial area between the light-transmissive shield and the reflector and at least a portion thereof is formed of an outer sidewall portion (6) of the reflector-receiving housing which is inwardly-drawn to extend toward an interior of the headlight.
