Abstract
The invention relates to a light module for a motor vehicle headlight for emitting light to form a light pattern in an area in front of the light module, the light module comprising two or more primary light sources (PLQ1, PLQ2) that produce light to form a main light pattern (HLV), and at least one secondary light source (SLQ1) that produces light to form an additional light pattern (ZLV), the additional light pattern overlapping the main light pattern to form an entire light pattern, the primary light sources (PLQ1, PLQ2) being associated with at least one primary reflector (PR1, PR2) and being set up to bundle the light emitted the from the primary light sources (PLQ1, PLQ2) and to direct it in the form of the main light pattern (HLV) into an area in front of the light module, the at least one secondary light source (SLQ1) being associated with an optical imaging system (AS) and being set up to project the light emitted from the at least one secondary light source (SLQ1) in the form of the additional light pattern (ZLV) into an area in front of the light module, wherein the main light pattern (HLV) is in the form of a short-range light pattern and the additional light pattern (Z…
