Abstract: An example apparatus, an automotive lighting system, and an automotive lighting apparatus for driving a lighting element in an automotive lighting system are provided. The example apparatus includes a lighting element and a lighting element driver electrically connected to the lighting element and a serial communication bus. The lighting element driver includes a flexible circuit board, a serial communication interface configured to receive a serial communication message related to the lighting element, a power supply interface electrically connected to a power source, and a lighting element driver processor mounted on and electrically connected to the flexible circuit board. The lighting element driver transmits power from the power supply interface to the lighting element based at least in part on the serial communication message.
