Zusammenfassung:An automotive lighting device, a vehicle and a method for operating an automotive lighting device are described. To economically fulfil different lighting functions the automotive lighting device includes a first and a second lighting unit. The first lighting unit is disposed to emit a first light of a first colour. The second lighting unit is disposed to emit a second light of a second colour different from the first colour. A mixing space is arranged to merge the first light and the second light to a third light of a third colour. The third light is disposed to fulfil a first automotive lighting function and the second light is disposed to fulfil a second automotive lighting function. The first automotive lighting function requires a colour within a first colour range and the second automotive lighting function requires a colour within a second colour range which is different from the first colour range. The third colour is within the first colour range and the second colour is within the second colour range.
