Abstract

A lighting device for vehicles including a light source, a transparent light guide body with a light coupling area and a projection optics device. The shape of the lower light deflection surface deviates from the shape of a base surface. The shape of the base surface is such that if the lower light deflection surface would not deviate from the shape of the base surface in form of the first facet, the light reflected from the base surface would be projected from the projection optics device into a non-deviation region of the light distribution, wherein the non-deviation region contains a defined point of the light distribution. The first surface element is inclined with respect to the base surface such that light totally reflected by the first surface element is imaged in the light distribution by the projection optics device into an 'eraser region' region below the defined point.
