A fiber-optic conversion module is provided as part of a lighting device on a vehicle. The module includes optical fibers with connectors, a light exit head, and a converter mounted on a cooling element. Shorter wavelength excitation light is fed to the optical fibers that emit the excitation light towards the converter arranged at an angle relative to the beam direction, at a light spot that remits useful light in a radiation angle in form of a cone of useful light and reflects excitation light as a Fresnel reflection substantially outside the cone of useful light, where Fresnel reflection is made harmless by a light stop.

A headlamp for vehicles is provided with a light source unit containing numerous light sources, and with a hologram unit containing numerous hologram segments for generating a predefined light distribution. Each of the hologram segments has at least one dedicated light source. The hologram segments are reflection hologram segments behind the respective dedicated light sources in the direction light is emitted by the headlamp, which light from the light sources strikes them at an acute angle and is reflected in the light emission direction in accordance with the holographic diffraction information stored in the respective reflection hologram segments.

An illuminated component comprising: an outer lens, a first layer, a second layer, a third layer, a first electrode, and a second electrode. The outer lens forms an outside of the illuminated component. The first layer is disposed on a back side of the illuminated component. The second layer is disposed on the first layer to at least partially cover the first layer. The third layer is disposed on the first layer, the second layer, or both divided into a first portion and a second portion. The first electrode is connected to the first portion. The second electrode is connected to the second portion so that when power is applied, the power flows between the first electrode and the second electrode through the second layer so that the second layer generates light that is visible on an exterior of a vehicle housing the illuminated component.
