Method for adjusting a headlight using a modeling light distribution

Abstract

In various embodiments, a method for adjusting a headlight by means of a modeling light distribution (6) is provided, comprising the steps of: generating the modeling light distribution (6) by means of the headlight, which modeling light distribution has a first dark-light-dark gradient along a first axis and at least one second dark-light-dark gradient along a second axis, which are arranged at an angle to one another; adjusting the alignment of the headlight such that the modeling light distribution (6) overlaps with a reference marking (1) which has at least a first line (4) and a second line (5), wherein the lines (4, 5) meet at the angle at a contact point; wherein a partial region (7) of the modeling light distribution (6) lying above the contact point is illuminated with a reduced brightness.

Claims

[1] Method for adjusting a headlight by means of a modeling light distribution (6), comprising the steps: generating the modeling light distribution (6) by means of the headlight, which has a first dark-light-dark gradient along a first axis and at least one second dark-light-dark gradient along a second axis, which are arranged at an angle to one another; Adjusting the alignment of the headlight such that the adjustment light distribution (6) overlaps with a reference marking (1) which has at least a first line (4) and a second line (5), the lines (4, 5) meeting at an angle at a point of contact; wherein a partial area (7) of the modeling light distribution (6) located above the contact point is illuminated with a reduced brightness. [2] Method according to claim 1, wherein the partial area (7) of the adjusting light distribution (6) is not illuminated. [3] Method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein when the adjustment light distribution (6) overlaps with the reference marking (1), the lines (4, 5) lie centrally within the associated dark-light-dark gradients. [4] Method according to one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the angle at which the lines (4, 5) touch each other corresponds to a right angle. [5] Method according to one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the point of contact of the lines (4, 5) corresponds to an intersection point of the lines (4, 5). [6] Method according to one of claims 1 to 4, wherein the adjustment light distribution (6) has an adjustment cross. [7] Method according to one of claims 1 to 5, wherein the reference mark (1) is cross-shaped. [8] Method according to one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the reference mark (1) is arranged in a light collecting box which is positioned in front of the headlight.
