Abstract (en)

The headlamp beam adjustment is implemented with translucent screens (10) placed over the front glass of the headlamp. The translucent screens deflect light emerging from the headlamp, deflecting downward the part of the emerging beam that is aimed above the horizontal. The low beam is also deflected to a more forward direction. Independent claims are also included for an adaptation device, a template for the headlamp screen and the headlamp fitted with the adaptation device.
