Abstract
A lighting device is provided for a motor vehicle. The lighting device contains a printed circuit board populated with light-emitting diodes and a reflector element. The reflector element is on the same side of the printed circuit board as the light-emitting diodes. The reflector element is subdivided into numerous segments. Each light-emitting diode is dedicated to a segment, such that the light from the light-emitting diodes can be reflected away from the printed circuit board by the reflector element in a beam direction (S). An optical element for the lighting device is placed downstream of the reflector element in the beam direction (S). The optical element has different optical properties above the reflective surface of the reflector element.
