Abstract
The invention concerns vehicle headlights with two light functions, comprising a reflector () and a two-filament bulb (), whose first spiral-wound filament (') generates a first light function and whose second spiral-wound filament (″) generates a second light function, each light function being associated with a region (″) of the reflector (), wherein the second spiral-wound filament (″) cooperates with a covering cap () which shields a portion of the light for the light function associated with this spiral-wound filament, which would otherwise impinge on the region (′) of the reflector () which is associated with the first light function, wherein the second spiral-wound filament (″) generates a turning and/or curve light and the regions (″) of the reflector () are separated by a separating line () which extends in a segment of the reflector at an angle of between ±0 and 35°, in particular ±15 and 35°, with respect to the vertical line.
