The invention is related to a method for controlling a light pattern provided by an automotive lighting device of an automotive vehicle, wherein a dynamic portion of the light pattern is provided at least by a matrix arrangement of light sources. This method includes the steps of sensing a turn in a steering system of the automotive vehicle, dividing the dynamic portion in a first portion and a second portion, shifting the operation of the light sources associated to the first portion in the same direction as the sensed turn and create a third portion between the shifted first portion and the second portion. The invention also provides an automotive lighting device with control means to perform the steps of the method.
