Headlight for vehicles

A projection module for a headlight of a vehicle, the projection module comprising:

• a bowl-shaped reflector;
• an illumination unit that is provided for the reflector;
• a lens having a convex front side that faces away from the reflector;
• and
• a shutter being arranged between the lens and the reflector, the shutter forming a light-dark boundary of a light bundle that is projected from the headlight;
• and
• an optical element being formed on the convex front side of the lens and being arranged in a lower middle margin area,
• wherein light beams emerging from the optical element are directed to an area above the light-dark boundary of the light bundle of the headlight, and
• wherein the surface of the optical element includes convex-shaped vertical first planar sections that extend parallel to an optical axis of the projection module and concave-shaped vertical second planar sections that extend perpendicular to the optical axis of the projection module.
