Abstract:
A vehicle projection-type headlight, comprising a reflector; a light source; a lens passing the light emitted by said light source and reflected by said reflector in the light direction of the headlight; at least one light-permeable element which surrounds said lens at least over a part of its periphery and is provided locally with first optical profiles formed on a surface of said light-permeable element, which faces said light source, so that the light emitted by said light source and not engaged by said reflector passes through and is collected by said light-permeable element, the light reflected by said reflector and passing through said lens forming an upper bright-dark limit; and at least one additional light source arranged externally of said reflector within a headlight housing and with its axis substantially parallel to the axis of the light outlet direction of the headlight and operating as a side-marker light so that the light emitted by said at least one additional light source passes partially through said light permeable element substantially in the light outlet direction of the headlight.
