  • Rotating headlight for a motor vehicle, having a lamp with two light sources
    Patent number: 6764209
    Abstract: A motor vehicle headlight comprises a support, a lamp with two light sources, and a reflector with a first reflective surface and a second reflective surface. These surfaces reflect light from the lamp to give a first light beam and a second light beam. The first reflective surface is rotatable about an axis with respect to the support, in such a way as to direct the first beam towards the inside of the bend being followed by the vehicle.
