Automotive head lamp louvre

A head lamp for a motor vehicle comprising:

• a reflector for reflecting light;
• a generally transparent lens mounted to the reflector for enclosing the head lamp, the lens having an exit region for permitting light to exit the head lamp, the exit region being smaller than the lens;
• a light bulb oriented within the head lamp spaced apart from the reflector for providing illumination that is reflected from the reflector and out of the head lamp;
• and
• a louvre oriented within the head lamp adjacent to an internal side of the lens, the louvre extending at least partially along the exit region for blocking glare light from exiting the head lamp, with no louvres extending directly between the light bulb and the lens.
