Illumination device () for a motor vehicle headlamp, wherein the illumination device () comprising: at least one light module () configured to illuminate light along a light path in a main direction (X),—a movable lower light guide element () and a movable upper light guide element (),—a motion device for a movement of the lower and upper light guide element () with respect to each other between—a closed position (PI), wherein the lower and upper light guide element () are—as seen in the main direction (X)—in front of the at least one light module () at least partially blocking the light path of the at least one light module (), wherein the lower and upper light guide element () are configured to emit light in the main direction (X), when in the closed position (PI), and an opened position (P), wherein the lower and upper light guide element () are moved away from the light path of the at least one light module to unblock the light path of the at least one light module (), while maintaining their spatial orientation,—a frame (), which is stationary in relation to the movement of the lower and upper light guide element (), wherein the motion mechanism is mounted on the frame ().

Illumination device for a motor vehicle headlamp

An illumination device for a vehicle headlamp that provides headlamp levelling. The illumination device includes a primary light module configured to emit light in a main direction, wherein the primary light module is rotatable around a rotation axis; a moveable shield cover for shielding the primary light module; and a motion device for moving simultaneously the primary light module around the rotation axis and the shield cover with respect to each other between (a) non-illuminating positions, wherein the shield cover is in front of the primary light module, and (b) illuminating positions, wherein the shield cover is moved away from the light path of the light module. In each illuminating position, the primary light module is in a defined angular position of a determined operating angular range around the rotation axis to project the light distribution in different angular positions in front of the illumination device for headlamp levelling.
