Abstract

A turn signal unit for an external mirror for a motor vehicle is designed to radiate a flashing light forwards in the direction of travel with the turn signal unit and the external mirror in the installation position at the side of the vehicle. The turn signal unit includes a light source and a lens disposed in front of the light source. A film with alternating light transmissive and non-light transmissive structures is clamped in the space between the light source and the lens. The film is clamped via a clamping structure which includes structure that is part of the lens and/or a housing portion of the turn signal unit.
