Abstract
A door sill lighting for a motor vehicle is described. The door sill lighting comprises an outer sill trim having a plurality of seamlessly interconnected layers. A partial region of an outer layer is transparent and cooperates with at least one light source. The partial region of the outer layer comprises edge sides and an optical fiber layer. The optical fiber layer has distributed light-scattering nanoparticles in its volume. Light from the light source can be coupled into an edge side of the optical fiber layer.
