Abstract

A headlamp for vehicles is provided with a light source unit a matric of light sources. An optics unit is positioned in front of the light source unit in the main beam direction which focuses the light sources into light spots in a predefined light distribution. The light source unit is positioned at a predefined distance to the light entry surface on the optics unit along an optical axis. An optics element that moves transverse to the optical axis of the light source unit and/or optics unit is placed between the light source unit and a light emission surface of the optics unit. The light spots are in a first position when the adjustable optics element is in a first setting, and the same light spots are offset from the first position along a displacement path when the adjustable optics element is in a second setting.
