The arrangement may include a switch for actuating the head light control unit, and sensors to detect an object in front of the vehicle. The arrangement also includes a processor to determine if an object detected constitutes a potential collision threat to the vehicle. The arrangement is arranged to actuate the head light control unit if an object in front of the vehicle is determined to constitute a potential collision threat to the vehicle.
