Abstract
The vehicle lamp unit comprises a housing having a window therein. Within the housing is an ellipsoidal reflector, and a concave mirror disposed to project light emanating from the reflector through the window. A mask is disposed at the outer focal plane of the reflector and is movable into and out of a masking position by means of a solenoid and connecting linkage. In a preferred arrangement, the reflector is mounted within the housing for pivotal movement about an axis which is inclined with respect to the horizontal.
