Abstract: A headlight system is provided for a motor vehicle and includes, but is not limited to at least one light source and beam-forming apparatus for generating the main light beam with an essentially horizontal cut-off line and a marker light beam within a limited azimuth angle range above the cut-off line of the main light beam. The beam-forming apparatus are switchable between at least two stationary states that differ from each other in the progression of an upper cut-off line of the marker light beam.

Abstract: A vehicle lamp having a housing and an illumination unit arranged within the housing is provided. The illumination unit comprises at least one light-emitting diode as light source. The at least one light-emitting diode is thermally coupled to a cooling element. The cooling element has a surface region arranged within the housing. On the surface region a decorative element is arranged.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for controlling a headlight in a motor vehicle. The method includes providing a headlight configured to emit a light distribution in a selectively controlled manner, and controlling the headlight to generate a dynamic wave effect in at least one sub-region in front of the vehicle within the illuminated light distribution.

Abstract: A method for adjusting the lighting range of a headlamp in a motor vehicle, is performed with the following steps. A first coordinateis acquired that corresponds to a position of the motor vehicle. At least one image of a camera connected with the motor vehicle is evaluated so as to acquire a second coordinate that corresponds to the position of an object on a roadway in the zone ahead of the motor vehicle. A reference angle is calculated for the motor vehicle from the first coordinate, the second coordinate and a height of the camera over the roadway. The lighting range of the headlamp is adjusted based on the reference angle.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a lane-tracking assistance system for a motor vehicle including a surroundings detection device for determining at least one roadway marking and with at least one vehicle headlight which, depending on the detected roadway marking and a position of the motor vehicle that is able to be detected from this relative to the roadway marking, is designed to generate light of a differing spectral composition.

Abstract: A lighting device for vehicle lights is provided that includes, but is not limited to LEDs arranged in a combined parallel/series circuit. A first photodiode is used to recognize the lighting of a first LED and a second photodiode is provided to recognize the lighting of a second LED of the plurality of LEDs.

Abstract: A light is provided and a method is provided for manufacturing a light, with a carrier element, an illuminating device disposed on the carrier element with a circuit board and an illuminant mounted on the circuit board, and an optic. The one of the optics and the carrier element comprises at least one positioning element, which passes through an opening in the circuit board and engages in a recess in the other of the optics and the carrier element.

The beam-forming apparatus are switchable between at least two stationary states that differ from each other in the progression of an upper cut-off line of the marker light beam.

Abstract: A night vision system for a motor vehicle is provided. The night vision system includes an infrared-light-emitting LED assembly. The infrared-light-emitting LED assembly is adapted to emit a bundled infrared beam and has a deflecting means for periodically moving the infrared beam through a predefined solid angle range. The night vision system further includes a sensor responsive in a wavelength range of the infrared beam.

Abstract: A light diffuser for a vehicle headlamp having a plurality of light sources that each is arranged inside a reflector is provided. The light diffuser is capable of representing a light-dark boundary of the low beams generated by the light sources without interruption, and is capable of diffusely scattering the daytime running lights emitted by the light sources so as to generate a homogenous exit of light for the light sources.
