A method is provided for adjusting a light distribution of a light projector of a vehicle in an area in front of the vehicle. The cone of light illuminates a predetermined projection area, starting at a first point of contact, and extends to a predetermined end point. In the event that an area at a second distance in front of the vehicle is to be illuminated which is shorter than a predetermined first distance, a new point of contact is defined at the second distance and a headlamp range control of the vehicle is controlled in order to move the cone of light of the light distribution downwards in such a way that the first point of contact is shifted to the second distance, and simultaneously the image position of the low light beam is shifted upwards in order to maintain the end point.
A method for adjusting a light distribution of a vehicle light projector in an area in front of the vehicle, wherein the light projector has a plurality of rows and columns of light points that output light in such a way that a first point of contact (A1) of a lower edge (K1) of a cone of light of the light distribution output by the light projector touches a road at a predetermined first distance from the vehicle, and the cone of light illuminates a predetermined projection area (P1), starting at the first point of contact (A1) and extending to a predetermined end point (E1), the method comprising:
A headlight system of a vehicle for providing a light distribution in an area in front of the vehicle, said headlight system comprising:
