Abstract
A headlight device includes a light source, a reflection mirror, a Fresnel lens and a blocking plate. The light source and the reflection mirror are disposed on a circuit board. After the light beam emitted from the light source is reflected by the reflection mirror, the light beam is gathered and projected to the Fresnel lens. By the means of the refraction through the Fresnel lens, a light shape which is applied to a vehicle is produced. The blocking plate is configured to produce a light shape with cut-off line.
