A running light for a vehicle includes at least one light source, a number of first optical waveguides on a first side, a number of second optical waveguides on a second side opposite the first side. One of the first waveguides emits light from the at least one light source in both the main beam direction, which runs along a main axis orthogonal to a secondary axis connecting the first side and second side, as well as in a first area toward the number of second waveguides. The second waveguide emits the light from the at least one light source in both the main beam direction and in a second area toward the number of first waveguides.
