Abstract:
A light emitting apparatus for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one light source for emitting light rays, and at least one light guide associated with the light source and disposed in the path of said light rays for transporting the light rays, the light guide having an input face, an output face and an intermediate section joining the input and output faces, whereby light from the light source enters the light guide through the input face and passes through the intermediate section for onward emission through the output face,wherein the light guide defines two first closed lines delimiting a continuous internal contour and a continuous external contour, said output face being defined between said first closed lines, the light guide further defining two second closed lines delimiting a continuous internal contour and a continuous external contour, said input face being defined between the second closed lines, wherein the input face and the output face are lying approximately in parallel planes, and wherein a circumferential dimension of the continuous external contour corresponding to said output face is greater than a circumferential dimension of the continuous external contour corresponding to said input face.
