The disclosure relates to an illumination unit, in particular an elongated illumination unit, on the outside of a motor vehicle, comprising a housing having at least one light emission opening which is closed by a light-transmissive cover plate, wherein the housing has two end regions, arranged in which in each case is an illumination assembly having at least one light source that is designed to emit light through the cover plate. In a rear housing wall, i.e., in a rear wall of the housing, between the two end illumination assemblies are arranged at least one air inlet opening and, separate therefrom, at least one air outlet opening, wherein the air inlet opening is connected to the vehicle interior of the motor vehicle, whereas the air outlet opening is connected to an outer area of the motor vehicle. This establishes during operation of the motor vehicle an automatic air circulation in the interior of the housing from the air inlet opening to the air outlet opening that is brought about by a pressure difference between vehicle interior and outer area of the motor vehicle.
