Abstract

A computer-implemented method for operating a headlight arrangement (21) of a motor vehicle (20), which headlight arrangement (21) comprises at least one headlight (22) directed towards the area in front of the motor vehicle (20), the illumination area of ​​which, in particular for providing a digital matrix light, is divided into illumination segments (7, 19) that can be controlled independently for illumination, wherein sensor data relating to at least one traffic sign (1, 8, 14) arranged in the illumination area are acquired by means of at least one sensor (24) of the motor vehicle (20) and evaluated in the sensor data for the detection of the traffic sign (1, 8, 14), wherein, by evaluating the sensor data for each traffic sign (1, 8, 14), an overlap information is determined that describes the covered areas (6, 18) and / or the type of overlap, in particular the covering material, as an overlap class.- using the overlap information, a partial illumination pattern to be used for illuminating the traffic sign (1, 8, 14) is determined to improve readability despite the overlap, and - at least one headlight (22) is controlled to implement the partial illumination pattern.
