Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1491816A1] The headlight has a reflector (R) behind a square lens with a cylindrical surface and having a wall with a recess of a side of a plane passing through an optical axis of the reflector. The plane has vertical, horizontal or oblique orientation. An additional reflector on the side at the level of the recess opposite to the axis collects a portion of light from the recess and provides a supplementary beam not intercepted by the lens. An independent claim is also included for a vehicle equipped with a headlight.
