Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a motor vehicle headlight which at least comprises a laser diode (1) and a light conversion element (8) paired with the laser diode (1). Light conversion element (8) regions corresponding to different regions of the light image (11?) can be illuminated periodically and with a varying intensity by means of a light beam (2) of the laser diode (1), and the illumination intensity in the light conversion element (8) regions corresponding to the different regions of the light image (11?) is adjusted simultaneously by both the relative illumination duration of the different regions as well as different luminous intensities of the laser diode (1) in the light conversion element (8) regions corresponding to the different regions of the light image (11?).
