A motor vehicle lighting module comprising:
- a housing which is formed by a housing part and a circular or elliptical outer part attached to the housing part, wherein the outer part is at least partially translucent and closes off the housing to an outside,
- a plurality of light sources that emit light beams, wherein the light sources are accommodated in the housing, and
- a light guide system arranged in the housing, into which the light sources emit the light beams, wherein:
- a facet body comprising an upper part, a girdle and a lower part is arranged in the housing, wherein the upper part adjoins the outer part and the lower part projects in a direction of the housing part,
- the light guide system comprises a first light guide and a second light guide, wherein the first light guide comprises a disk-shaped section, wherein the girdle of the facet body lies in a central recess of the disk-shaped section, and wherein the second light guide is configured as a conical, curved body, the curvature of which runs around an underside of the facet body,
- the light sources are arranged such that the light sources feed light into the first light guide and into the second light guide,
- a first portion of light emitted from the disk-shaped section of the first light guide is introduced into a side of the girdle,
- a second portion of light emitted from the disk-shaped section of the first light guide is introduced into the outer part, and
