1. An illumination device (10) for a vehicle lamp, comprising:
a first light source (100) configured to emit light in a main direction (X), wherein the first light source (100) contributes to produce a first light distribution;
a second light source (200) configured to emit light in the main direction (X), wherein the second light source (200) contributes to produce a second light distribution;
a cover lens (300) with a translucent section (310) configured to project the light of the first and second light source (100, 200) in the main direction (X) in front of the illumination device (10); and
a mounting body (20), on which the first and second light source (100, 200) are mounted, and wherein the cover lens (300) is mountable on the mounting body (20) in such a way, so that the mounting body (20) and the cover lens (300) build a closed casing for the first and second light source (100, 200),
wherein the illumination device (10) comprises an additional lens device (400) arranged in the closed casing and comprising a first projection section (410) and a second projection section (420), which first and second projection section (410, 420) are at least partly translucent and are configured to project light of the first and second light source (100, 200) into the translucent section (310) of the cover lens (300), wherein the first projection section (410) of the additional lens device (400) is assigned to the first light source (100) and is in combination with the first light source (100) configured to produce the first light distribution, and wherein the second projection section (420) of the additional lens device (400) is assigned to the second light source (200) and is in combination with the second light source (200) configured to produce the second light distribution,
wherein the additional lens device (400) comprises a first opaque section (430), which is arranged between the first and second projection section (410, 420) and is configured to separate both projection sections (410, 420) from each other, so that the light coupled into a projection section (410, 420) of the additional lens device (400) is prevented to couple into the other projection section,
wherein the first opaque section (430) of the additional lens device (400) comprises an extension element (440), which is mechanically connected to the first opaque section (430) by means of a mounting device (450) and extends from the first opaque section (430) towards and reaches between the first and second light source (100, 200), wherein the extension element (440) is arranged in a way to prevent light emitted from one of the light sources (100, 200) to couple into the other light source and to prevent light emitted from one of the light sources (100, 200) to couple into a projection section (410, 420) assigned to the other light source,
wherein the first and second light source (100, 200) are built as light guides, each of which extend along a longitudinal axis, and
wherein the extension element (440) is movable around an adjusting axis (Y) of the mounting device (450), which adjusting axis (Y) is orthogonal to the main direction (X).
