  • Publication number: 20250207749
    Abstract: A lighting module for a headlight in a vehicle includes: a light source; a lens; and a housing. The housing holds the light source. The housing also holds the lens at a fixed position relative to the light source and spaced apart therefrom. The housing includes an outer surface that defines a slot. A cutoff shield extends through the slot and into an interior of the housing between the light source and the lens for blocking a portion of light emitted from the light source.
