Abstract:
A vehicular lighting assembly for compensating for the change in light emission angle due to load on a vehicle. The assembly included at least one lighting element, an actuator associated with the or each lighting element for adjusting a light emission angle of light emitted therefrom relative to the vehicle with which the vehicular lighting assembly is associated, and an actuator housing in which the actuator is housed. A vehicular-pitch-determining sensor is then arranged to indirectly determine a pitch of the vehicle, and associated with a controller for controlling an actuation of the actuator in response to a vehicular pitch as determined by the vehicular-pitch-determining sensor. A vehicular lighting system, pitch-compensation actuation unit, motor vehicle and method of altering the angle of light emission from the headlamps of a motor vehicle are also provided.

Claim (Index 26):
A method of altering an angle of light emission from the headlamps of a motor vehicle, the method comprising the steps of:\n a] indirectly determining a pitch of the motor vehicle based on another characteristic of the motor vehicle other than pitch; b] calculating an optimum light emission angle for the headlamps based on the indirectly-determined pitch of the motor vehicle; and c] using an actuator to adjust the headlamps of the motor vehicle, such that an actual light emission angle is equal to or substantially equal to the optimum light emission angle.
