Abstract: This invention provides an automotive lighting device (1) comprising a plurality of solid-state light sources (2) and a light guide (4). The solid-state light sources (2) are configured to emit light according to a light direction (d), each one having a light source centre (20) and each one defining a light source plane (21), which is a plane perpendicular to the light direction (d) which contains the corresponding light source centre (20). The light guide (4) has a reception inlet (40) which projects an optical profile (41) on the closest light source plane (21) according to the light direction (d), the optical profile (41) having an optical centre (42). The light sources (2) are arranged to project light beams to the reception inlet (40) of the light guide (4) in such a way that at least 70% of the light source centres (20) are closer to the optical profile (41) than to the optical centre (42).

Abstract: The invention provides an automotive lighting device associated with vehicle electronics where the device includes light sources, a current sink device and a light driver. The current sink device is connected with the light sources so that each light source with a current sink device forms a light group. The light driver is configured to be electrically fed by a power source where the light driver includes terminals configured to selectively activate or deactivate current flow in each terminal, in such a way that each light group is connected. The light driver is arranged in series with the light groups relative to the power source, either located between the power source and the light groups or located between the light groups and the ground connection. The current sink device includes an input configured to receive an activation signal, in such a way that the current sink device can be selectively activated to consume power.

Abstract: The invention relates to an electronic assembly for an automotive lighting device. The inventive electronic assembly comprises a first group of light source connections and at least one jumper where each jumper is arranged to bypass a first spare light source connection belonging to the first group of light source connections by putting its first and second terminals in electrical contact. Hence when in operation, the first spare light source connection does not receive any light source. The first group of light source connections are intended to receive light sources which are used for the same lighting function. The invention also relates to a lighting device that includes such an electronic assembly with a method that includes manufacturing such a lighting device.
