An external shutter assembly to control a light beam emitted by a headlight of a vehicle includes a pair of transparent structures arranged facing the headlight and a blind assembly arranged between the transparent structures. The blind assembly includes a support rod extending movably coupled to a first transparent structure and a base rod fixedly coupled to a second transparent structure. The support rod is arranged to be displaced in the vertical direction. The blind assembly further includes a plurality of blinds arrayed in a vertical direction and arranged spaced apart from each other with first ends the blinds being pivotally coupled to the base rod and second end of the blinds attached to the support rod. The blinds pivot between a horizontal position and a slanted position in response to the vertical displacement of the support rod to control an angle of the light beam.
