Illumination apparatus for vehicles

A lighting assembly for vehicles, the lighting assembly comprising:

• at least two first light sources to generate a first light beam;
• at least two second light sources to generate a second light beam, the first light sources and the second light sources emit light of different color and/or luminance in order to generate different light functions and the first light sources being arranged in an extension direction of a linear light signature to generate a first light function and the second light sources being arranged in a direction of extension of a linear light signature to generate a second light function;
• light guide elements associated with the first light sources and the second light sources, the light guide elements being arranged so as to extend along the direction of extension of the linear light signature, the light guide elements having a light entry side on a side facing the first light sources or the second light sources and a light exit side on a side facing away from the first light sources or the second light sources;
• scattering optical elements associated with the light exit side of the light guide elements to scatter the light;
• and
• a headlamp lens arranged at a distance in front of the light guide elements, which is shaped according to the linear light signature,
• wherein the first light sources and the second light sources are arranged alternating in the direction of extension of the linear light signature, and
• wherein the scattering optical elements and/or the distance of the headlamp lens to the scattering optical elements, and/or a distance in each case between adjacent first light sources running in the direction of extension and in each case between adjacent second light sources running in the same direction of extension are designed such that in each case first light beams exiting from the scattering optical elements assigned to the adjacent first light sources and adjacent in the direction of extension and in each case second light beams exiting from scattering optical elements assigned to the adjacent second light sources and adjacent in the direction of extension overlap on the headlamp lens or are arranged directly adjacent to one another.
