LIGHTING DEVICE FOR VEHICLES

A lighting device for vehicles with a light source unit, having a plurality of first light sources and second light sources, an optical unit for generating at least two different light distributions containing a light panel and a diffusing structure. The first light source and the second light source are arranged at a distance from the light panel and/or the diffusing structure. The light panel and/or the diffusing structure are provided a diaphragm with apertures for the passage of light emitted by the first light source and/or the second light source, wherein a contour of the openings predefines a light signature for the light distributions. The second light source is designed as an additional light source, which is associated with an additional optical system for focusing the light emitted by the additional light source in the direction of a delimited region of the diaphragm.
