Abstract
A reflector for a dimmed or dimmable motor vehicle headlight is divided into an asymmetrical wedge-shaped sector, an upper sector, and a lower sector which are stepped axially from on another. The reflection surface is thereby formed such that a desirable light distribution is achieved without a correcting lens in horizontal and vertical areas perpendicular to a middle axis of the headlight. The desired light distribution of the asymmetrical wedge-shape sector is such that a corresponding point of every reflected light-filament image of each arbitrary point of the asymmetrical wedge-shaped reflection surface is positioned immediately near a prescribed borderline, such as a legislatively mandated borderline.
