1. A lighting device for a vehicle, the device comprising:
a lamp controller configured to:
determine whether to change a light range control code based on at least one of image information, map information and illuminance information of a front region of the vehicle; and
determine, based on steering information including a steering direction and steering angle, whether to increase or decrease the light range control code and an increase or decrease amount of the light range control code; and
a lamp configured to expand or reduce a light irradiation range based on the light range control code,
wherein the lamp controller is further configured to:
generate a direction sensing signal based on a steering direction included in the steering information;
generate a magnitude code based on a steering angle included in the steering information;
generate a code generating signal based on the at least one of the image information, the map information and the illuminance information; and
generate the light range control code based on at least one of the code generating signal, the direction sensing signal and the magnitude code.
