An arrangement for providing a status indication of a coupling device of a towing vehicle, comprising a sensor arrangement (20) operable to detect when a coupling pin of the coupling device is in an engaged coupling position, a light emitting device (10) electrically connected to the sensor arrangement, and configured to emit a light signal indicative of when the coupling pin is in an engaged coupling position, the light emitting device (10) being arranged in the vicinity of the sensor. The arrangement further comprises an optical waveguide (11) arranged to receive the light signal and guide the light signal, and an out-coupling structure (17; 18) arranged to out-couple the light signal from the optical waveguide.
