Abstract: A headlight device for motor vehicles has a light source for emitting light beams, a reflector for reflecting at least a part of the light beams emitted by the light source in a light outlet direction on a region in front of the vehicle, and a dispersing element which is bringable in beam path of the light beams reflected by the reflector.

Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight assembly switchable between low-beam and high-beam modes of operation includes a housing, a reflector component mounted in the housing for displacement relative thereto between a plurality of beam aiming positions, and a light source component mounted in the housing for movement relative to the reflector component between a low-beam position and a high-beam position. A motor is provided for displacing the reflector component between the plurality of beam aiming positions relative to the housing. To selectively move the light source component between, and for holding the light source component in at least one of, its low-beam and high-beam positions relative to the reflector component, use is being made of the motor and of an electromagnet operated in sequential cooperation with the motor.

Abstract: A headlight for a motor vehicle having a light source, a reflector having a substantially concavely curved reflection surface by which a light emitted by the light source is reflected for producing a predetermined illumination intensity distribution, the reflector having at least one further reflection surface which follows the concave reflection surface in a light outlet direction, a light-permeable member located in a beam path of the light reflected by the reflector and formed so that the light passes through the light-permeable member without being substantially influenced, the at least one further reflection surface of the reflector being subdivided at least locally by visible separating lines into several facets, at least a part of the facets being formed so that the light emitted by the light source is reflected by the at least one part of the facets into at least one lateral region in front of the vehicle.
