Abstract
A lighting device for a vehicle includes a light source and a linear light emission element for emitting light, which is supplied by the light source via a coupling surface of the light emission element in the light emission element. A light conductor element is provided for distributing and/or directing light, which is supplied by the light emission element in the light conductor element. The light source is linear and is arranged so as to extend parallel to the light emission element so that light from the light source can be coupled to a longitudinal side of the light emission element in an in-coupling surface in the light emission element. The light emission element is arranged at least partially in one side of an open cavity of the light conductor element and force-fittingly and/or form-fittingly held and also can be detached from the light conductor element in a non-destructive manner.
