LIGHTING MODULE FOR A VEHICLE COMPONENT AND VEHICLE COMPONENT WITH A LIGHTING MODULE

An illumination module () for highlighting a region of a vehicle component, such as a charging or tank recess () or a handle assembly, includes a light source support () having at least one light source () and a housing (), in which the light source support with the at least one light source is received. The housing includes a light outlet region (), via which light can be decoupled from the housing (). The illumination module () further includes a light diffuser () optically coupled to the light outlet region of the housing , which diffuser includes a first light outlet region (), via which light can be decoupled for direct illumination or highlighting of the region of the vehicle component and which includes a second light outlet region (), which is spatially separated from the first light outlet region () via which signal light can be decoupled.
