Abstract
A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes several flat light-conducting elements that are arranged in layers one behind the other in a layer arrangement. The individual light-conducting elements do not touch one another and are clearly spaced apart from one another. Each of the light-conducting elements includes a light-scattering structural element. An illuminating device is optically coupled to each of the light-conducting elements in order to couple light into the light-conducting elements. Light is coupled out of the light-conducting elements by means of the structural elements.
