The present invention relates to an illumination device (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109) of or for a vehicle (50), comprising a light source (12, 12L, 12R) for providing light rays (Ir), an optical element (14) for guiding the light rays (Ir) through the Illumination device (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109), a cover layer (22) comprising at least one first section (24) that is opaque to the light rays (Ir) and of a first color, and at least one second section (26) that is transparent to the light rays (Ir), and a switchable layer (28) switchable between a first state in which the switchable layer (28) is transparent for impinging light rays (Ir) or of the first color or a second color and a second state in which the switchable layer (28) reflects the impinging light rays (Ir), a power supply (30) for applying a voltage on the switchable layer (28), and a switching element (32) for turning on and off the power supply (30). Moreover, the present invention is drawn to a cladding component comprising (52) such an illumination device (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109) and to a vehicle (50) comprising such a cladding component (52) and/or such an illumination device (101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 108, 109).
