Claim Text:
1. A method for adapting an upper headlight beam boundary of a light cone of at least one headlight of a vehicle, the method comprising: detecting a time curve of at least one of: i) a pitch rate of the vehicle, ii) a value that is dependent on the pitch rate, iii) a roll rate of the vehicle, and iv) a value that is dependent on the roll rate; ascertaining at least one of an envelope curve, an amplitude of the time curve, and an average value of the time curve; and at least one of: i) providing a control signal for adapting the upper headlight beam boundary using the envelope curve, in response to a change in the envelope curve, ii) providing the control signal for adapting the upper headlight beam boundary using the amplitude, the upper headlight beam boundary being adapted more steeply in a direction of the roadway ahead of the vehicle the greater the amplitude, and iii) providing the control signal for adapting the upper headlight beam boundary using the average value of the curve, the upper headlight beam boundary being adapted more steeply in the direction of the roadway ahead of the vehicle the more negative the average value of the curve.
