Claim:
A method for adjustment of headlamps (PJ) for motor vehicles (V), comprising a step for calculating a headlamp angle (DBL) determined as a function of the path of the vehicle, said function comprising at least one of an angle of a steering wheel or GPS navigation data, wherein said method furthermore comprises the steps of: detecting a position of a lamp of a target vehicle (VC) using a camera; calculating a lateral position (POS) of said target vehicle (VC) with respect to said motor vehicle (V) using said detected position of said lamp of said target vehicle (VC); deducing a lateral angular offset (OFFST) as a function of said lateral position (POS) of said target vehicle (VC); and adjusting, where necessary, the headlamp or headlamps (PJ) as a function of the headlamp angle (DBL) and of said lateral angular offset (OFFST); wherein the calculation of said lateral angular offset (OFFST) is carried out as a function of said lateral position (POS) of said target vehicle (VC) and with respect to said headlamp angle (DBL).
