A headlamp assembly for a motor vehicle comprising at least one headlamp, which has a light source for emitting visible light, a radiation source for emitting infrared radiation, and a light emission optics with a light entry surface, which visible light from the light source and infrared radiation from the radiation source strikes, and which has an optical exit-deflection element, which directs the infrared radiation from the radiation source toward the light entry surface of the light emission optics. The optical exit-deflection element comprises at least one optics, which broadens the infrared radiation emitted by the radiation source to form a radiation beam with a cross section broadened in a horizontal plane (HH), and a radiation distribution that has at least one intensity maximum disposed toward the edge in the radiation distribution, to one side of a vertical plane (VV), when viewed in a focal plane of the light emission optics.

Motor vehicle headlamp assembly

A headlight of a motor vehicle including a light source and first projection optics, in which each one includes a respective first pair made of one respective first image mask and of one respective first projection lens with a first focal length, which is illuminated by the light source through the one respective image mask. The headlight has two projection optics, in which each one is featuring a respective second pair made of one respective second image mask and of one respective second projection lens with a second focal length, which is illuminated by the light source through the one respective second image mask. The second focal length is greater than the first focal length. An illuminated portion of the first image mask, has a shape of at least a first portion of an overall light distribution of the headlight, and a portion of the second image masks, has a shape of a central portion of the overall light distribution of the headlight.
