ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns vehicle headlights with two light functions, comprising a reflector (10) and a two-filament bulb (14), whose first spiral-wound filament (14′) generates a first light function and whose second spiral-wound filament (14″) generates a second light function, each light function being associated with a region (10′, 10″) of the reflector (10), wherein the second spiral-wound filament (14″) cooperates with a covering cap (18) which shields a portion of the light for the light function associated with this spiral-wound filament, which would otherwise impinge on the region (10′) of the reflector (10) which is associated with the first light function, wherein the second spiral-wound filament (14″) generates a turning and/or curve light and the regions (10′, 10″) of the reflector (10) are separated by a separating line (12) which extends in a segment of the reflector at an angle of between ±0 and 35°, in particular ±15 and 35°, with respect to the vertical line.
