Patent ID: 7563009

Claim:
A headlamp system for a vehicle, comprising: a first array of semiconductor light sources; a second array of semiconductor light sources; a first lens system having at least one lens; a second lens system having a single lens, said first lens system and said second lens system operable for producing a desired beam pattern; a first transfer device for transferring light emitted from said first array of semiconductor light sources to said first lens system, wherein light from said first array passes through said at least one lens to vertically limit said desired beam pattern, and is projected through said at least one lens to horizontally limit spread of said desired beam pattern; and a second transfer device for transferring light emitted from said second array of semiconductor light sources to the second lens system, wherein tight from said second array passes through said single lens, the single lens of said second lens system projects light from said second transfer device in a horizontal direction to produce an illumination pattern output, and compresses the illumination pattern output, allowing said second lens system to produce at least one hot spot component of said desired beam pattern.
