Method for controlling a headlight arrangement for a vehicle , the headlight arrangement having a right headlight and a left headlight , the right headlight emitting a right light beam and the left headlight emitting a left light beam , by means of which light beams a first total light distribution can be generated, in which a central region (M) is formed and side regions (S 1 , S 2 ) are formed on either side of this central region (M), the side regions (S 1 , S 2 ) having a greater illuminating range than the central region (M), in which method an initial light distribution is generated by means of the left light beam and the right light beam , at least one object is detected in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel, the position of the object being determined and the size and/or width of the object being detected, and a second total light distribution , which is a marker light, is generated when the position of the object has been determined, characterized in that in the second total light distribution , the side regions (S 1 , S 2 ) of the first total light distribution are at least partially superimposed at the position of the object so that a superimposed region is formed in which the light intensity is made up of the light intensity of the left light beam and of the right light beam , the superimposed region being generated by tilting the light emission directions (L) of the headlights about a vertical axis to the determined position, a left tilt angle for the left headlight about the vertical axis and a right tilt angle for the right headlight about the vertical axis being determined depending on the size and/or width of the object , and the left headlight being tilted by the determined left tilt angle and the right headlight being tilted by the determined right tilt angle, so that the width and/or size of the superimposed region is dependent on the width and/or size of the object . at least one object is detected in front of the vehicle in the direction of travel, the position of the object being determined and the size and/or width of the object being detected, and a second total light distribution , which is a marker light, is generated when the position of the object has been determined, characterized in that in the second total light distribution , the side regions (S 1 , S 2 ) of the first total light distribution are at least partially superimposed at the position of the object so that a superimposed region is formed in which the light intensity is made up of the light intensity of the left light beam and of the right light beam , the superimposed region being generated by tilting the light emission directions (L) of the headlights about a vertical axis to the determined position, a left tilt angle for the left headlight about the vertical axis and a right tilt angle for the right headlight about the vertical axis being determined depending on the size and/or width of the object , and the left headlight being tilted by the determined left tilt angle and the right headlight being tilted by the determined right tilt angle, so that the width and/or size of the superimposed region is dependent on the width and/or size of the object . <EOS>
