Abstract
A lighting device for vehicles having a light source unit and having an optical unit that contains a reflector with at least one reflector surface for creating a specified light distribution, wherein the light source unit has a first light source that is arranged in a focal point region of the reflector surface. A second light source is arranged outside the focal point region of the reflector surface. A lens is arranged ahead of the reflector surface in the direction of light emission. The second light source is arranged outside the focal point region such that the light emitted by the second light source strikes a lens segment of the lens which a light emitted by the first light source and reflected by the reflector surface does not strike, so that all lens segments of the lens are illuminated.
