Marelli Automotive Lighting is an automotive lighting company that is based in Germany. It was founded in 1999 as a 50-50 joint venture between the Italian firm Magneti Marelli and the German firm Robert Bosch GmbH (K2 Lighting division).

In 2001, Magneti Marelli raised its share to 75% after the acquisition of Seima Group. In 2003, Automotive Lighting became fully owned by Magneti Marelli. Since 2019, after the merger of Magneti Marelli and Calsonic Kansei the one-company's name is Marelli.

Automotive Lighting was the first company to introduce rear LED lights in 2003 for the Peugeot 307 CC,[1] and the first full-LED headlamp in mass production for the Audi R8 in 2008.[2]
