Claim:
1. A light module for a motor vehicle, comprising: a light source; a light reflecting unit; and an optical waveguide; wherein the waveguide is formed by a plate-shaped body having an L-shaped cross section, the plate-shaped body comprising an input part and an attached output part that together define the L-shaped cross-section, the input part being shorter than the output part, the light-reflecting unit comprises a reflector disposed outside an end of the waveguide and arranged in front of the input part of the waveguide, and wherein at a place where the input part of the waveguide passes into the output part of the waveguide, an angled surface is provided, for total reflection of light passing through the input part of the waveguide to the output part of the waveguide, wherewith a bottom area and an adjacent face of the output part of the waveguide are provided with a white coating, and wherein light from the light source is reflected by the reflector into the input part, reflected off the angled surface into the output part, and emitted from a face of the output part opposite the bottom area.
