Description

ABSTRACT:
An illumination device for a vehicle comprises at least one light generator with a light source, a plurality of light conductors receiving light from the light source, a plurality of light distributing units connected with the light conductors and operating for different illuminating functions, and a screening device associated with at least one of the light distributing units and switchable between a passive position in which the screening device permits supplying light in the light conductor associated with the one light distributing unit to the light distributing unit or permits exiting of light from the light conductor associated with the one light distributing unit, and an active position in which the screening device screens light of the light conductor associated with the one light distributing unit from entering the one light distributing unit or exiting the one light distributing unit. The screening device in the active position is reflective and deflects light exiting the associated light conductor and impinging on it for supplying in a light distributing unit serving for another illumination function.
