ABSTRACT:
A vehicle headlight (1) has a reflector (2) that is divided vertically into an upper region (6), a middle region (7), and a lower region (8), wherein the upper region is structured as a low-beam light surface (9) having a first center (10), through which extends a longitudinal axis of a first lamp (3), the middle region is formed as a fog light surface (14) and the lower region as a high-beam light surface (15), and the fog light surface and the high-beam light surface have a common center (16) through which extends a longitudinal axis of a second lamp (4). The reflector is mounted so that it can pivot about its central axis, and is pivoted by an electric motor (5) as a function of lateral inclination of a vehicle on which the headlight is mounted.
