Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1464890A1] The head light has a reflector that reflects a set of light signals from a light source. An output lens (405) includes an input surface, an output surface, and a focal point to produce a light beam. A cover plate is arranged between the reflector and the lens for clipping the light beam. The lens has convex ribs in a circumferential part of the output surface, to deflect a part of light in a pre-defined direction. An independent claim is also included for a vehicle equipped with a headlight.
