Abstract
The invention relates to lighting device () for a vehicle with at least one high-beam lighting module (), wherein a high-beam lighting module () comprises at least one high beam light source (), a primary optical system (), and a secondary optical system (), which is arranged downstream of the primary optical system () in the direction of light propagation. The secondary optical system () comprises an inner boundary surface () facing the primary optical system () and an outer boundary surface () facing away from the primary optical system (). Light emitted by the at least one light source () is coupled into the primary optical system (), which is configured to emit the in-coupled light onto inner boundary surface () of the secondary optical system (), which secondary optical system () projects said light as a light distribution (HLV) into a region in front of the lighting device (). The primary optical system () and the secondary optical system () are configured such that the light distribution (HLV) forms a part of a high-beam (HB) or adaptive driving beam, ADB, light distribution. The high-beam module () comprises at least one additional light source (), and an optical transparent light guide body (), wherein the at least one additional light source () can be controlled independently of the at least one light source (), and wherein the at least one additional light source () is configured to couple light into the optical transparent light guide body (), which optical transparent light guide body () is arranged in front of the secondary optical system () in the direction of light propagation, wherein the optical transparent light guide body () is configured to emit at least part of the light coupled into the optical transparent light guide body () onto the inner boundary surface () of the secondary optical system (), so that the secondary optical system () illuminates when viewed from an outside of the lighting device () when the at least one high beam light source () is switched off.
