Elliptical headlamp including a secondary optical system

Motor-vehicle headlamp (10) which is intended to produce at least one regulatory light beam, especially of the main-beam or dipped-beam type, of the type including a main optical system (23) which comprises, arranged from back to front overall along a main optical axis (A-A), a main light source (16), a main reflector (14) of the elliptical type a first focus of which is situated in the vicinity of the source (16), and a converging main lens (18) a focal plane of which passes close to a second focus of the main reflector (14),

• characterised in that it includes a secondary optical system (36) comprising:
• a secondary light source (48) which is arranged behind the main lens (18) and off the path of the light rays emitted by the main light source (16);
• and an optical distribution element (42) which is interposed between the secondary light source (48) and the exit surface (19) of the main lens (18), which receives the light rays emitted by the secondary source (48) on its entry surface (52) and which distributes them over its exit surface (54), in such a way as to form, at the exit from the main lens (18), a secondary regulatory beam for indicating, especially of the position-light type or of the daytime-light type.
