A vehicle light has at least one light source and a light guide device into which light emitted by the light source can be directed and which possesses output means for outputting the light or a portion of the light. Diverting means are provided between the light source and the output means in such a way that widening and parallelization of the light takes place inside the light guide device. The diverting means comprise at lest one incision constructed on the light guide device which defines internal reflection surfaces for diverting the light laterally from a main beam direction of the at least one light source, and an end face of the light guide device that has external reflection surfaces that divert light already diverted laterally previously in the main beam direction of the at least one light source.
