The source code that I have to parse loks more like:

if(signal):
 variable_a := do_something
else:
 variable_b := do_something_other

variable_c := signal_x;

How can i tell Bison that that it has to look for the indentations? Has anyone maybe an example that he/she can send me ? it would be very helpful,
because i havent seen such an example.

You might look into the sources of the Haskell interpreter Hugs <http://haskell.org/hugs/ >, which I recall uses .y files. (Haskell admits layout syntax.)

My guess is though that you have to put a rule in the .l file that recognizes the indentation, that is to be recognized.

If the syntax is good, it might be possible to do it with sufficient lookahead ( a different type of language specification). There the GLR parser might be used (se the Bison manual).
