Vehicle low beam headlamp having partially transmissive shutter region

An automotive vehicle projector headlamp (12) comprising:

• a reflector (28) configured to reflect visible light emitted from a primary light engine (20);
• a projector lens (30) configured to project at least a portion of said reflected visible light from said reflector (28);
• and
• a shutter (22) disposed at a first position between said primary light engine (20) and said projector lens (30), said shutter (22) comprising a non-transparent region (54) and an upper edge (44) defining a cut-off whereby said shutter (22) is configured to selectively obscure a portion of said projector lens (30) from said reflected visible light and to selectively emit at least a portion of said reflected visible light through at least a portion of said projector lens (30) in a first low-beam light distribution pattern when disposed in said first position,
• said shutter (22) further comprising a partially light-transmissive shutter bump (56) which attenuates an amount of visible light emitted from said projector lens (30) in a predefined area of said first light distribution pattern, said shutter bump (56) extending away from and above said upper edge (44) of said shutter (22).
