A headlight system for a vehicle for making available a cornering light function, comprising: a first light module, which comprises a first light source and an optic unit (6, 7) and is designed to generate an asymmetric low beam light, wherein the asymmetric low beam light on a driver's side of a central axis has an upper first light-dark boundary that is oriented horizontally; a second light module, which comprises a plurality of light emitting diode units (13, 14) arranged like a matrix; a control unit, which is coupled to at least the second light module and designed to separately control the light emission of the individual light emitting diode units (13, 14) of the second light module; and a cornering detection unit, which is coupled to the control unit and by which the radius of a curve in the direction of travel of the vehicle can be detected, the light emitting diode units (13, 14) of the second light module, which are arranged like a matrix, having precisely two horizontal rows (12-1, 12-2), namely a first horizontal row and a second horizontal row, and by means of the light emission of the first horizontal row of the light emitting diode units, an emission characteristic cam be generated, having a lower second light-dark boundary which is situated below the first light-dark boundary of the low beam light, an upper third light-dark boundary which is situated above the first light-dark boundary of the low beam light, and a lateral fourth light-dark boundary on the side of the light emission of the second light module which faces the driver's side, and in order to make a cornering light function available, the control unit, the cornering detection unit, and the second light module are designed in such a way that a cornering light angle (δ) formed by the outermost of the light beams of the light emission of the first horizontal row of the light emitting diode units, which generates the lateral fourth light-dark boundary, with the longitudinal vehicle axis of the vehicle in the horizontal direction, is variable, and that this cornering light angle (δ) depends on the radius of the curve detected by the cornering detection unit, characterized in that the cornering light function can be made available by means of precisely one horizontal row, namely the first horizontal row of the light emitting diode units of the second light module which are arranged like a matrix, and a high beam function can be made available by means of the second horizontal row of the light emitting diode units arranged like a matrix. a first light module, which comprises a first light source and an optic unit (6, 7) and is designed to generate an asymmetric low beam light, wherein the asymmetric low beam light on a driver's side of a central axis has an upper first light-dark boundary that is oriented horizontally;
