A lighting structure (10) for an exterior vehicle light unit, such as an exterior light unit of an aircraft, road vehicle, ship or rail car, the lighting structure (10) has a light source (2) with a principal light emission direction (12), the light source having at least one LED, a substantially parabolic reflector (4) arranged to reflect light output from the light source (2) in a first output region and to collimate the same in a primary light output direction (16), the substantially parabolic reflector (4) corresponding to a section of a paraboloid and the first output region containing the principal light emission direction, and an aspherical collimating lens (6) arranged to refract light output from the light source (2) in a second output region different from the first output region and to collimate the same in the primary light output direction (16). The the light source (2) is arranged in such a way with respect to the substantially parabolic reflector (4) and the aspherical collimating lens (6) that the principal light emission direction (12) is inclined at an acute angle with respect to the primary light output direction (16).
