Method and apparatus for vehicular light fixtures

A lighting device is provided for controlling the photometric distribution of light emitted by two or more LEDs. The lighting device may be integrated with a control system of the vehicle and may be controlled by a remote controller. The lighting device may be capable of being operated in one or more modes of operation based on operating conditions, user input, or both. Operating conditions may include vehicle conditions, environmental conditions, and user conditions. The controller may operate a software application to enable the user to modify, control, or otherwise regulate any mode of operation or other feature of the lighting system.

A computer includes a processor and a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to receive sensor data indicating a road user, determine a gaze direction of the road user based on the sensor data, and adjust at least one of a color or direction of a lamp of a vehicle based on the gaze direction.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A HEADLAMP OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

A method is provided for controlling a headlamp of a motor vehicle. An object is detected by an object detecting device of the motor vehicle. An angle is determined between a geometrical longitudinal axis of the motor vehicle passing through the object detecting device and a geometrical connecting line between the object detecting device and the object. A glare reduction range of the headlamp is determined using the angle without taking into account a total distance between the object and the motor vehicle, the headlamp illuminating the glare reduction range with a lower brightness than areas adjacent to the glare reduction range.
