Abstract
An illumination apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a housing which is covered by an outer cover glass and has a surface illumination function in order to illuminate a predefined region of the surface of the outer cover glass when viewed from above from the outside onto the outer cover glass. An illuminant is provided at least in sections at the edge of the outer cover glass, and the outer cover glass includes a translucent light-guiding layer into which the illuminant radiates light along the planar extent of the light-guiding layer during operation. The light-guiding layer transmits the irradiated light along the planar extent, and a light-deflecting device is provided in the predefined region of the outer cover glass in order to deflect transmitted light in the light-guiding layer such that it emerges via the outer cover glass.
