Abstract: A headlight for a vehicle operating in accordance with a projection principle has a light source, a reflector, a shield arranged in a beam path of a light reflected by the reflector for producing a bright-dark limit of a light bundle exiting the headlight, a lens through which the light passing on the shield passes, a light-permeable cover member arranged after the lens in a light outlet direction, the cover member having a region which deviates the passing light upwardly, and a screening device arranged between the shield and the cover member and formed so that at least a part of the light passing on the screen which would pass through the region of the cover member is screened.

Abstract: A headlight for a vehicle operating in accordance with the projection principle has a light source, a reflector which reflects light emitted by the light source as a converging light beam, a screen arranged in a beam path of the light beam reflected by the reflector and screening a part of the light beam, a lens arranged after the screen in a light outlet direction for projecting an upper edge of the screen as a bright-dark limit of a light bundle exiting the headlight, so that a part of the light bundle reflected by the reflector illuminates at least a region arranged at a distance above the bright-dark limit, the screen being provided with at least one opening which is located at a defined region below the upper edge of the screen and formed so that a part of the light beam reflected by the reflector passes through the opening and illuminates at least one region above the bright-dark limit.
