Abstract
A vehicle comprises a first lighting assembly disposed to the left of a longitudinal axis of the vehicle and comprising a first array of independently operable light emitting diodes and a first projection lens arranged to form a front left light beam for the vehicle from light output from the first array of light emitting diodes, a second lighting assembly disposed to the right of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and comprising a second array of independently operable light emitting diodes and a second projection lens arranged to form a front right light beam for the vehicle from the second array of light emitting diodes, and a controller configured to control activation of the light emitting diodes in the first array of light emitting diodes to adjust an angle between the front left light beam and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and to control activation of the light emitting diodes in the second array of light emitting diodes to adjust an angle between the front right light beam and the longitudinal axis of the vehicle.
