Abstract:
A motor vehicle headlight comprising a light source mounted in a reflector and a glass, the reflector being mounted to pivot about a generally vertical axis, and displacement means being provided to vary the angular position of the reflector, wherein the reflector is capable of occupying a first angular position which can vary within a given range and in which the beam emitted thereby passes through a first glass to generate a first type of beam, and a second angular position which is fixed and different from each first angular position, and in which the beam passes through a second glass, and wherein the headlight also comprises optical means for generating through said second glass a second type of beam, which is fixed and has photometric characteristics different from those of the beam of the first type generated through the first glass, and said angular positions and the positions of the two glasses are selected so that each of the first and second glasses respectively receives solely the beam emitted by the reflector in any first angular position of said given range, and solely the beam emitted by the reflector in the second angular position.
