Abstract
A device and a method for controlling at least one headlight for a motor vehicle involve a control apparatus, at least one sensor configured to detect information about objects in a surrounding area of the motor vehicle and to supply the detected information to the control apparatus. The headlight can be adjusted by the control apparatus depending on at least one detected object. A range between at least one light source and at least one lens of the headlight can be adjusted by the control apparatus in order to adapt a projection of the light source to the at least one detected object.
