Vehicle headlamp for generating a main light distribution and an additional light distribution

摘要

The vehicle headlamp (100) has light unit (2) which produces main light. The lenses (3,3') are provided in the light unit, so that the light emitted by the light source is projected as main light distribution on the area ahead of vehicle. A supplementary light unit (4) for generating supplementary light distribution, is switched on during main light operation. The light-emitting portion (5) of supplementary light unit is arranged close to the lens. The light entrance surface (3a) and light-exit surface (3b) of lens are coated with respective antireflection coatings (6a,6b).
