A tail light includes a housing with a translucent cover panel and one or more flexible light guides at least partly arranged in the housing. Each light guide contains one or more fibers which extend between two ends of the respective light guide in the longitudinal direction thereof. One or more laser light sources are provided at one end of each light guide, and the supplied light produces an emission of light out of the respective light guide along the longitudinal direction thereof. At least one part of the emitted light exits the tail light via the cover panel as a first light emission. An additional lighting device with one or more LEDs is at least partly arranged in the housing and is configured such that light originating from the LED(s) exits the tail light via the cover panel as a second light emission.
