Air flap apparatus having integrated light guides, for a motor vehicle

An air flap apparatus for a motor vehicle, encompassing a frame having a flowthrough opening, on which frame at least one air flap is mounted movably relative to the frame so as to project into or pass through the flowthrough opening;

• the at least one air flap being displaceable between a closed position and an open position in order to modify a gas quantity flowing per unit time, with a predefined flow impingement, through the flowthrough opening;
• the at least one air flap decreasing a flowthrough-capable cross section of the flowthrough opening more greatly in the closed position than in the open position;
• the air flap apparatus further encompassing a motion drive system that is motion- and force-transferringly coupled to the at least one air flap in order to drive the at least one air flap to move between the closed position and the open position,
• wherein the at least one air flap of the air flap apparatus includes at least one light-emitting air flap, the at least one light-emitting air flap comprises at least one light exit surface that is embodied to radiate light to an external environment of the at least one light-emitting air flap, the at least one light-emitting air flap further comprising at least one light-guiding light guidance component that is embodied to guide light from a light entrance portion through to a light exit portion arranged at a distance therefrom, the at least one light guidance component being embodied integrally with a structural component, of the at least one light-emitting air flap.
