Abstract: A dipped headlamp for motor vehicles comprising a bulb, a reflector and closure glass placed in front of the reflector and bulb. The bulb is an axial filament bulb without a masking cup. The reflector comprises a reflecting surface without any discontinuity and suitable for forming images of the filament with all points of the image being situated below a horizontal plane. Correction means for angularly displacing said images upwardly to raise them to level of the two horizontal masking half-planes comprise prisms in the closure glass or side sections of the reflector which are tilted upwardly.
