Abstract
It is an object to provide a motor vehicle headlight assembly that includes a headlight module having a first luminous intensity distribution, a first additional headlight module having a second luminous intensity distribution different from the first luminous intensity distribution, and a control circuit. The control circuit may be configured to apply power to the headlight module based on one or more of a switch input and a light/dark input, and apply power to the first additional headlight module when a speed of the motor vehicle exceeds a first predetermined threshold.
