Abstract

A light module for a motor vehicle headlamp having an optical fiber configuration with at least one first optical fiber branch and one second optical fiber branch. Each of the two branches has a light exit surface each bordered by two narrow sides and disposed such that a narrow side of the first branch is disposed parallel and directly adjacent to a narrow side of the light exit surface of the second branch. Each branch exhibits two transport surfaces. The transport surfaces exhibit surface norms having a directional component, which faces more toward a first narrow side of the two narrow sides of the branch than toward a second narrow side of the two narrow sides of the branch, wherein the narrow sides lying directly adjacent and parallel to one another are a second narrow side of the first branch and a first narrow side of the second branch.
