The invention relates to a device for the electrical connection of at least one light source to an electric power supply device. The device is specifically employed in a lighting device for a motor vehicle, and permits the arrangement of light sources remotely from the connecting element which, in turn, can be arranged remotely from an electric power supply device of the light sources. The connecting device permits a high degree of freedom in the arrangement of light sources in relation to the device, as it casts little shadow upon the light sources, whilst ensuring the effective dissipation of heat generated thereby.
