The light device comprises an optical module (17), comprising a light source (5) and an associated optical body (8) of a transparent material to bind light rays (10) emitted by the source (5). The source (5) is a multidirectional light source configured to emit the primary light beam (6) of rays (10) towards the cover (1), and secondary beams (7) comprising rays (10) that are approximately transversal with respect to the rays (10) of the primary beam (6). The body (8) has a front surface (12) that forms a central front recess (18) in the body (8), a rear surface (14) that is opposite to the front surface (12) and is, in the direction from the optical axis (x) of the optical module (17), which passes through the source (5), inclined towards the cover (1), and a lateral surface (13) connecting the front surface (12) with the rear surface (14). The deepest point of the front recess (18) is situated approximately at the optical axis (x). The rear surface (14) and the lateral surface (13) are configured to prevent rays (10) from passing through these surfaces (14, 13).

A light guide has an elongated body that includes an entrance face at which light is admitted into the light guide and an exit face at which the light emanates from the light guide. The light guide has an inboard side wall and an outboard side wall extending between the entrance face and the exit face. The entrance face, the exit face, the inboard side wall and the outboard side wall enclose a medium containing a colorant by which the medium meets a color criterion while minimizing light absorption at a wavelength of the light.

A light-emitting assembly includes an outer lens. The outer lens has a lens exterior surface and a lens interior surface. The outer lens also defines a window between the lens exterior surface and the lens interior surface. The light-emitting assembly additionally includes a light element fixed to the outer lens in the window. The light element is exposed on the lens exterior surface, and configured to direct a beam of light away from the outer lens exterior surface. Such a light-emitting assembly may be specifically adapted for use on a motor vehicle.
