A vehicle light (10) that can be used, for example, in a headlamp assembly (25) for a headlight projection system for use with forward illumination, comprises a reflector (12) and a light source (14) operatively mounted with the reflector (12). Preferably, the light source (14) is a filamented, tungsten halogen lamp capsule providing visible radiation and IR radiation and the reflector (12) is elliptical. The headlamp assembly (25) is mounted in a housing (27). A lens (16), such as an aspheric projector lens, directs the visible and IR radiation emanating from the light source (14) toward a field (18) to be illuminated and a shutter (20), which provides the cutoff for the low beam, has a position (22) between the light source (14) and the lens (16). The shutter (20) is transparent to the IR radiation and opaque to the visible radiation and is moveable into and out of the position (22) between the light source (14) and the lens (16), for example, by actuation of a solenoid (23).
