Abstract
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 including 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), which overlaps the main light pattern to form an entire light pattern. The primary light sources are associated with at least one primary reflector (PR1, PR2) and are configured to bundle the light emitted the from the primary light sources and to direct it in the form of the main light pattern into an area in front of the light module. The at least one secondary light source is associated with an optical imaging system (AS) and is configured to project the light emitted from the at least one secondary light source in the form of the additional light pattern into an area in front of the light module, wherein the main light pattern is in the form of a short-range light pattern and the additional light pattern is in the form of a long-range light pattern and the entire light pattern (LFL) is in the form of a long-range lig…
