The invention relates to a lighting device (100) for a motor vehicle, comprising a lens (1) and at least one light source (4, 5, 61), wherein light from the at least one light source (4, 61) is projected by the lens (1) into a region lying in front of the lighting device (100), wherein at least one reflective surface (3a) is assigned to the lens (1) at the rear side (3) thereof, and/or wherein the lens (1) has at the rear side (3) thereof at least one total reflection region (3a′), wherein at least one light source (4) radiates light into the lens (1) via an incidence region (40), and wherein the light radiated into the lens (1) via the incidence region (40) is reflected by the at least one reflective surface (3a) and/or the at least one total reflection region (3a′) and emerges from the lens (1) via the light exit surface (2) thereof and is projected into a region in front of the lighting device (100).
