Lighting module (1) for illuminating, in particular selectively or as needed, at least one area of a vehicle component (8), in particular at least one area of a
handle arrangement or a loading or tank recess, wherein the vehicle component (8) has a base body (9) insertable into an opening of a vehicle body, wherein the base body (9) has a
first light exit area (5) and a second light exit area (5'), and wherein the lighting module (1) has the following: - a lamp carrier (2), in particular in the form of a circuit board, with at least one lamp (3, 3'), preferably in the form of an LED; - a housing half-shell (4) which can be connected to a wall region of the base body (9), preferably via a clip and / or latching connection (14), in such a way that only when the housing half-shell (4) is connected to the wall region of the base body (9) is a complete housing formed which is defined by the housing half-shell (4) of the lighting module (1) on the one hand and by the wall region of the base body (9) on the other hand, in order to accommodate the illuminant carrier (2) with the at least one illuminant (3, 3'), and wherein the lighting module (1) does not have a complete housing before being connected to the base body (9), but only the housing half-shell (4), wherein light emitted by the at least one illuminant (3, 3') can be coupled out of the housing via the first and second light exit regions (5, 5') of the base body (9).
