Claim:
1. A lighting appliance for vehicles, comprising: a flat light guide including a section for a coupling-in of light and a multitude of light sources radiating light beams arranged in the section for the coupling-in of light; a surface for the coupling-in of the light beams in the section for the coupling-in of light in the flat light guide, a deflection surface for the deflection of the coupled-in light beams in the direction of a main section of the light guide, and a surface for a coupling-out of light abutting the deflection surface in the light guiding direction; the main section of the light guide extending between the section for the coupling-in of light and the surface for the coupling-out of light having opposing flat sides, on which the coupled-in light beam is fully reflective in direction of the surface for the coupling-out of light; and wherein the surface for the coupling-in of light is embodied so that the coupled-in light beam is directed under an acute tipping angle relative to a main radiation direction of the light source in the direction of the deflecting surface.
