1. An optical module for a luminous device of an automotive vehicle, comprising:
a first light source and a second light source capable of emitting light rays;
a light guide including a first coupling face capable of receiving light rays emitted by the first light source;
a second coupling face adapted to receive light rays emitted by the second light source,
where the second coupling face and the first coupling face are configured to diffuse light rays propagating in the light guide over a portion of a perimeter form of the light guide;
an exit outer lens that is transparent or translucent, the exit outer lens defining a recess that extends a majority of the light guide such that light rays diffused by the light guide pass through the exit outer lens;
a deflecting member and a sealing member forming a single part where the deflecting and sealing members are made from a same material, wherein the deflecting member includes an L-shaped profile;
the light guide inserted into a recess of the exit outer lens wherein the single part is formed directly in the recess, the single part holding the light guide within the recess and the single part arranged to shut-off the recess;
the deflecting member facing the light guide and arranged to redirect light rays diffused by the light guide toward this the deflecting member in a direction of the exit outer lens; and
wherein the recess of the exit outer lens includes a set of lateral walls joined together to form a U-shaped profile and an opening, the deflecting member being arranged in the opening of the recess of the exit outer lens.
