Abstract
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 ().
