Abstract
A monobloc optical element including a first end including a plurality of light inlets distinct from one another via which rays of light enter the optical element, the optical element including a second end via which the rays of light exit together, the second end being configured to shape a beam of light external to the optical element, the optical element being defined by an axis passing at least through the first end and through the second end, characterized in that the optical element includes at least a first contact zone dedicated to referencing it mechanically along the axis and at least a second contact zone dedicated to referencing it mechanically in a direction transverse to the axis, the second contact zone being closer to the second end than to the first end.
