The invention relates to a projection headlight arrangement for vehicles with a left projection headlight and a right projection headlight, each comprising: a reflector exhibiting two focal points, a light source arranged in a first focal point of the reflector, a lens upstream of the reflector in the direction of light emission whose focus is arranged in the proximity of the second focal point and a diaphragm shaft arranged between the lens and the reflector, which is displaceable in several rotary positions by means of a control unit around a horizontal rotary axis running transversely to the optical axis, wherein the rotary positions each have a diaphragm edge of the diaphragm shaft assigned for the creation of a light-dark boundary for a specified light distribution, wherein a sensor unit is provided for the detection of a traffic participant located in the far-field of the vehicle, the control unit distorts the diaphragm shaft in such a way in dependence on a sensor signal of the sensor unit that such a diaphragm edge of the diaphragm shaft is active, that a complete illumination of the far-field takes place, without blinding the traffic participant detected in the far-field of the vehicle and the diaphragm edges are assigned to light function sectors of the diaphragm shaft, said light function sectors sweeping a variable angular region in the direction of rotation of the diaphragm shaft.
