Abstract
Front side lighting device for motor vehicles is placed on both sides of the front of the vehicle. The device includes a compact reflector and a light source whose light beam is asymmetrical, with an angle (β) of an outer spread being greater than angle (α) of an inner spread. The device is activated either on both sides of the vehicle, in the case of low visibility, or only on the left or right side of the vehicle, during curve driving and/or turning. The side of activation is given by a steering wheel angle or by a turn signal switch and lighting mode is controlled by a speed sensor of the vehicle.
