Abstract
A lighting device for vehicles with a first lighting unit having a light source and a light beam surface for emitting light and with a second lighting unit containing a light source and a flat light guide having opposite flat sides and narrow sides connecting the same for backlighting the first lighting unit. The flat light guide of the second lighting unit has a backlighting section and a linear light section. The backlighting section is arranged behind the first lighting unit and a front flat side of the flat light guide in the backlighting section serves as a light decoupling surface for the light decoupling of a first part of the light coupled into the flat light guide. The linear light section is at least partially arranged next to the first lighting unit. A narrow side of the flat light guide serves as a light decoupling line.
