Abstract
A lighting apparatus for vehicles, having a light source and a headlamp lens assigned thereto. The headlamp lens has scattering optical elements for scattering the light. A light guide is disposed between the light source and the headlamp lens in such a way that, firstly, light emitted by the light source strikes an area of the headlamp lens delimited by an edge of the same or a portion of the headlamp lens and/or that, secondly, the plurality of light sources are disposed with different spatial orientations with respect to one another in terms of their principal axes such that the light emitted by the light sources strikes different portions of the headlamp lens, wherein the headlamp lens is disposed upstream and/or downstream of the light source in the principal emission direction for the purposes of scattering the light in a transmissive or reflective manner.
