Claim 13:
14. A method for controlling headlights of a vehicle, the method comprising:
illuminating a plurality of LEDs in a first and second headlight to form an illumination pattern;
redirecting a light from one or more of the plurality of LEDs in the first headlight through a lens separate from the LEDs such that the light from the one or more LEDs passes through a central plane defined by a central axis of the lens;
detecting a signal, from a steering sensor, indicative of a steering direction changing from a first position to a second position; and
upon detecting the signal from the steering sensor indicative of the steering direction changing, simultaneously increasing an intensity of a first LED of the plurality of LEDs, disposed in the first headlight, associated with a first edge illumination field of the illumination pattern and decreasing an intensity of a second LED of the plurality of LEDs, disposed in the second headlight, associated with a second edge illumination field of the illumination pattern, thereby moving the illumination pattern in a direction that corresponds with the steering direction changing from the first position to the second position.
