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

Automotive lighting device

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.
