Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for calibrating a position of a matrix headlamp of a motor vehicle by means of a camera of the motor vehicle, wherein the matrix headlamp has a plurality of segments controllable independently of one another for light emission. At least one first image of a sign is recorded by means of the camera, a location area in which the sign is arranged is determined, illuminance of a first segment is changed, at least one second image is recorded and checked, whether a change in a glare effect detected on the basis of the at least one recorded second image has occurred, and if so, the position of the matrix headlamp is calibrated depending on the first segment and position information derived from the location area.

Abstract: The disclosure concerns an illumination device for a motor vehicle, with a laser light source that is designed to emit light, with a reflector comprising a reflection side that is designed to reflect light and comprises an electrically conductive layer, and an outside that faces away from the reflection side and is arranged on the opposite side. Furthermore, the illumination device has a safety device to detect failure states of said illumination device. The safety device has at least one inductive sensor that is arranged externally relative to the reflector, such that the outside of the reflector is facing toward the inductive sensor and the reflection side of the reflector is facing away from the inductive sensor, wherein the safety device is designed to detect a temperature change of at least one region of the reflection side of the reflector by the inductive sensor.
