Lighting devices, methods of manufacturing a lighting device, automotive lighting systems including the lighting device are described. A lighting device includes at least one light guide with an elongated recess. Multiple light-emitting elements are embedded into the recess of the light guide, arranged on a flexfoil that is bendable in three different connections, and connected to one another to mimic a filament. At least one encapsulating material encapsulates, at least in part, the at least one light guide. The at least one encapsulating material includes at least one opening and at least one reference element for aligning the at least one light guide in relation to the encapsulating material so that the multiple light-emitting elements emit light exiting the opening. The at least one encapsulating aterial is flexible so that the lighting device is bendable in three different directions.
