A method for setting a pivot angle of a headlamp with an asymmetrical low beam when a vehicle is negotiating a bend, wherein a course of a highway line is determined, a contact point is determined, wherein a tangent from the headlamp to the contact point makes contact with the highway line, and the headlamp is adjusted such that a projection of an intersection of a horizontal portion of a cut-off line of the headlamp and an ascending branch of the cut-off line of the headlamp in a plane in front of the vehicle and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle on the highway falls within a circle of predetermined radius around the contact point.

Method and device for setting a pivot angle of a headlamp when negotiating a bend

A device for determining control parameters to adjust the light distribution of a vehicle headlight when driving through a curve from a first or second angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle, the first angle determined from first information,

Device and a method for determining control parameters to adjust the light distribution of a right headlight and a left headlight when driving through a curve

A method for reducing the movements of light from at least one movable light source for a motor vehicle with a steering wheel, wherein a movement of the steering wheel causes a movement of the light source includes the steps of detecting a current steering wheel angle and at least one steering wheel angle change coming from the current steering wheel angle is detected over a defined time window and the steering wheel angle change is summed to form a magnitude, wherein simultaneously a number of steering wheel changes in direction is detected within the defined time window, wherein a characteristic value is allocated to each magnitude and the associated number of changes, wherein a comparison of the characteristic value with a limiting value is performed and a decision is made with reference to the comparison whether additional movement of the light source is carried out.
