ABSTRACT:
Variably shaped lenses that adjust the shape of the light beam of vehicle headlights. The shape of the lenses is changed by the transfer of a liquid between the lens assembly and an external cylinder. Baffles are used in the refracting portion of the lens to prevent shifting of the liquid and distortion of the lens when the vehicle accelerates.
