A vehicle lighting device and a method of controlling luminance thereof are provided. The vehicle lighting device includes a camera module configured to capture an image of the driver's face, a sensing unit configured to detect the surroundings of a vehicle, a lighting unit including at least one light source to illuminate the interior of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire information on a daytime mode and a nighttime mode through the sensing unit, to acquire information on an infrared brightness level or information on the size of the pupil of the driver's eye based on the image of the driver's face captured by the camera module, and to control the luminance of the lighting unit in response to the acquired information.
