Abstract

A motor vehicle light system (2) comprising at least two light sources (12a through 12d), at least two optical waveguides (11a through 11d), at least one downstream transparent emission element (10), and at least one controller (5) for time-offset actuation of the at least two light sources (12a through 12d), the at least two light sources (12a through 12d) being set up to couple light into one optical waveguide each (11a through 11d), the optical waveguides (11a through 11d) each having at least one light out-coupling section (14a through 14c) that is set up to couple light into a light coupling section (19) of the emission element (10), wherein the light coupling section (19) of the emission element (10) is step-shaped.
