Claim 7:
8. A method for controlling headlights of a vehicle, the method comprising:
illuminating a plurality of LEDs in a first and second headlight, including a first LED associated with a first edge illumination field, in the first headlight, and a second LED associated with a second edge illumination field, in the second headlight, the first and second edges of the illumination fields capable of being located on a side of the vehicle opposite the axis of travel from the first headlight and second headlight respectively;
detecting a signal, from a steering sensor, indicative of a steering direction changing from a first position to a second position; and
in response to detecting the signal from the steering sensor indicative of the steering direction changing, simultaneously increasing a duty cycle of the first LED associated with the first edge illumination field and decreasing a duty cycle of the second LED associated with the second edge illumination field to move the first edge illumination field and the second edge illumination field together in a direction that corresponds with the steering direction changing from the first position to the second position.
