Abstract

An installation for the automatic control of the light projection distance of motor vehicle headlights in dependence on the positional change of the vehicle body, in which in case of a positional change of the vehicle body toward one side when driving through a curve, an analogous control of the light projection distance of the headlight takes place in such a manner that, for example, with right-hand traffic and when driving through a right-hand curve, the light projection distance is decreased and vice versa is increased in a left-hand curve.
