A motor vehicle lighting system () for emitting position-limited ground projections (B, B) for a motor vehicle () with a stepped height-adjustable chassis (), wherein at least two pre-defined chassis height levels (S, S) are provided, namely a zero level (S) and at least one higher operating level (S), wherein the motor vehicle lighting system () includes at least two projection devices (), and a control unit () connected to each projection device () for individually controlling each projection device ().

Motor vehicle lighting system for emitting position-limited ground projections

Shock-absorbing vehicle headlight system, having a vehicle frame element, a vehicle headlight housing, two release elements and a release mechanism connected to the vehicle frame element and designed to transition the vehicle headlight housing between a basic position and an adjustment position. The release mechanism includes a blocking element, switchable between a blocking position (BP) and a release position (RP). The vehicle headlight housing is held in the basic position in the BP and transitions to the adjustment position in the RP. A force transmission device mechanically couples the blocking element to the release elements and includes a rotary shaft and a control element. Displacement of each release element can be converted into rotary movement of the rotary shaft, which in turn can be converted into rotary movement of the control element, which is operatively connected to the blocking element in order to push the blocking element into the RP.

Shock-absorbing vehicle headlight system

A self-absorbent vehicle headlamp system including (i) a vehicle frame element that can be firmly connected to a vehicle; (ii) a vehicle headlamp housing displaceably held on the vehicle frame element, having at least one pin that is firmly connected to the vehicle headlamp housing, wherein the vehicle frame element includes at least one guide for receiving and linearly guiding the pin, wherein the pin is in engagement with the guide, so that the vehicle headlamp housing is guided by the pin being displaced along the guide and is thereby displaceable with respect to the vehicle frame element; (iii) at least one triggering element that can be mechanically connected to a bumper of a vehicle, and (iv) at least one triggering mechanism that is firmly connected to the vehicle frame element and is configured to receive the triggering element and the pin and to change at least as a function of the position of the triggering element, between a state (S) blocking the pin and a state (S) releasing the pin, wherein in the state (S), the vehicle headlamp housing including the pin is displaceable with respect to the vehicle frame element.
