Please substitute the new Abstract submitted herewith for the original Abstract: An exterior component for a means of transportation, including a light-guiding layer, a light source, a cover layer arrangement, and a light decoupling device. The light-guiding layer is transparent at least in sections and has a depression. The light source is disposed in the depression, and is configured to couple light into the light-guiding layer. The cover layer arrangement is transparent at least in sections, on the light-guiding layer, and is configured to at least partially reflect the light coupled into the light-guiding layer. The light decoupling device is configured to decouple at least a first part of the light out of the exterior component in an area of the exterior component spaced apart from the depression, in which the exterior component is radar-transparent.
