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

A lighting and/or signalling device, in particular for a motor vehicle, comprising at least one light source emitting light rays and at least one optical guide in which the light beam spreads, the at least one optical guide comprising at at least one of its ends an input face coupling the at least one optical guide and the at least one light source, a first surface forming an output face for the light beam, and a second surface, in particular remote from the output face, forming a face for reflection of the light rays, such that the at least one optical guide has at least one bend, the at least one optical guide in the region of the at least one bend having at least one corner protruding toward the outside of the at least one bend and bevelled by having two facets in order to send back the incident rays into the at least one optical guide.
