Light guides for motor vehicle lighting device

The invention relates to a light pipe having a tubular base body which has a closed about a longitudinal interior surface and an exterior surface such that an extending along the longitudinal axis of the interior is formed, which is open in a coupling direction along the longitudinal axis around the longitudinal axis, wherein the base body has a coupling-in section in the coupling direction, to which at least one light injection surface, and wherein the base body in the direction opposite the coupling-in direction along the longitudinal axis having a Auskoppelabschnitt with a light output surface. The basic body is delimited by a deflecting surface such that light, which is through the light coupling into the basic body can be coupled and can be geleitetet in this, by total internal reflection at the deflection in such a way through the light coupling can be coupled out that the light has a directional component radial to the longitudinal axis ,
