Abstract
A lamp for a vehicle includes a light-conducting element. The light-conducting element has at least one in-coupling element arranged between two adjacent light out-coupling elements. A light source is associated with a light in-coupling surface of the light in-coupling element. At least two light-diverting surfaces of the light in-coupling element are associated with respective ones of the light out-coupling elements. The light-diverting surfaces serve to divert light beams radiated from the light source into the respective light out-coupling elements. The light-diverting surfaces of the light in-coupling elements are convexed, or curved, outwardly and have a common focus position for the light source.
