Abstract
A method and headlight system is disclosed for operating a headlamp arrangement of a motor vehicle. At least one sensor monitors an area in the traveling direction in front of the motor vehicle. The system acquires an object and calculates object data relative to the motor vehicle, which include a distance of the object, a horizontal location angle of the object as well as an angular velocity of the object. Latency between the object acquisition and change in light distribution for the headlight system is known. A light distribution of the headlamp arrangement is modified as a function of the object data and latency.
