Claim One:
1. An adaptive front-lighting system for a vehicle, comprising: a plurality of LED light sources having a projection pattern for exterior illumination to supplement a main beam from a main light source; a power supply for driving the LED light sources according to a driving signal having a magnitude between a minimum driving signal and a maximum driving signal, wherein the LED light sources sequentially illuminate in response to the magnitude of the driving signal; a speed sensor for characterizing an instantaneous vehicle speed; a turn sensor for characterizing an instantaneous turning radius; a fuzzy controller generating the driving signal in response to the instantaneous vehicle speed and the instantaneous turning radius based on a fuzzy model, wherein the fuzzy model is characterized by a plurality of empirically-derived is fuzzy rules that define discontinuous values and by a plurality of modified consequents that produce a substantially continuous output.
