Abstract

A headlight for a motor vehicle includes a housing which is provided with a translucent cover pane to allow light to exit from the headlight and in which a first lighting device and a second lighting device are located. The first lighting device is provided for generating at least one portion of a dipped beam and/or a full beam of the headlight, and the second lighting device is provided for generating at least one portion of a limiting light and/or a daytime running light of the headlight. The headlight also includes a diaphragm which is opaque in a predefined diaphragm section except for a plurality of light exit points provided therein. Light is emitted via the predefined diaphragm section toward the cover pane by the second lighting device in order to generate the at least one portion of the limiting light and/or the daytime running light.
