Abstract (en)

The headlamp beam adjustment is implemented with translucent screens (10) placed over the front glass (G) of the headlamp. The position of the screen is determined by locating the region of the headlamp glass through which the part of the beam above the horizontal passes. The translucent screen is placed on this region, deflecting downward the part of the beam aimed above the horizontal. Independent claims are also included for the adjusting assembly, the stencil to place on the glass and the projector.
