Abstract
A lighting device for a motor vehicle having a light source, a light guide with an entrance surface, and a hologram disposed on or in the light guide. The lighting device is configured such that light emanating from the light source enters the entrance surface of the light guide and interacts with the hologram so that an image stored in the hologram is reconstructed and is visible to an observer of the lighting device. The light guide has a first exit surface and a second exit surface. The lighting device is configured such that light that has interacted with the hologram exits through the first exit surface and that light that has not interacted with the hologram exits through the second exit surface.
