In a method and apparatus to regulate the illumination range of a motor vehicle in which, at a position on a front axle and at a position on a rear axle, signals are measured which are dependent upon the relative position of a motor-vehicle body to the front axle and the rear axle, with a difference formation between the signal from the front axle and that of the rear axle being accomplished with a resulting difference signal, as a nominal-value signal, being filtered to a first average-value formation. The time for the first average-value formation is determined by a first filter (F1) time constant with positions of adjusting elements being regulated when the first filtered nominal-value deviates from a predetermined, or set, value. In order to be able to recognize inclination changes of the motor-vehicle body which cannot be attributed to changes in load or road surface unevenness, simultaneously with the first average-value formation, a second average-value formation of the nominal-value signal, with a second short filter (F2) time constant, and a third average-value formation of the nominal-value signal, with a third long filter (F3), time constant takes place. The thusly produced second filtered nominal-value signal is compared with the thusly produced third filtered nominal-value signal and upon the existence of a difference between the second filtered nominal-value signal and the third filtered nominal-value signal the first average-value formation is interrupted and upon termination of the difference is again turned on.
