Lighting device for vehicles

A lighting device for a vehicle comprising:

• a first light unit having a light source and a first flat light guide having a linear light coupling surface and a light decoupling surface;
• a second light unit having a light source and a second flat light guide having a linear light coupling surface and a linear light decoupling surface,
• wherein the first flat light guide and the second flat light guide are connected to each other in a single piece to form a light guide element,
• wherein opposite flat sides of the first flat light guide intersect with opposite flat sides of the second flat light guide in an intersection area,
• wherein the first flat light guide has a deflection section between a first flat section and a second flat section of the first flat light guide,
• wherein the first flat light guide and the second flat light guide form a U-shaped light guide element in a transverse plane running transversely to the linear light coupling surface of the first flat light guide and of the second flat light guide,
• wherein an extension section of the first flat light guide and an extension section of the second flat light guide project from the intersection area at an angle, and
• wherein the extension sections of the first and second flat light guides enclose an angle equal to an angle enclosed by the second flat section of the first flat light guide, running in a direction of luminous flux to the intersection area, and a first flat section of the second flat light guide.
