Abstract
A vehicle lamp as for a motor vehicle includes a housing with a light exit opening closed by an elongate light cover. At least one light emitting diode is arranged in the housing laterally of the light cover, its main emission direction being substantially parallel to the longitudinal direction of the light cover. Light from the diode in the main emission direction is coupled into a light guide and is at least partially coupled out transversely with respect to said main emission direction towards the light cover. A reflector arrangement which extends at least on the side of the light guide in opposite relationship to the light cover reflects towards the light cover light coupled out therefrom in other directions than towards the light cover. The reflector arrangement includes a good heat-conducting material and is in good heat-conducting relationship with the diode to dissipate heat therefrom.
