Abstract

An illumination device for a vehicle has a light source, a reflector which reflects a light emitted by the light source so that the reflected light exits the illumination device in a first light outlet direction, the reflector being interrupted at least in one region, and at least partial light-permeable element arranged in the region and formed so that the light emitted by the light source passes through the light-permeable element and exits the illumination device in a second light outlet direction which deviates from the first light outlet direction.
