    Abstract: Method for controlling modules for projecting pixelated light beams of a host vehicle. The host vehicle includes a step of determining, using a control device and according to the collected data, a polynomial function which models the profile of the edge and the centre of the road, such that the road profile is modelled based on a polynomial function, the degree of which depends on the curvature of the road. Also included is a step of determining, by means of the control device, a starting point (Pd) and an arrival point (Pa) of an area for projection (ZPd, ZPg, ZP) of patterns, and a step of determining, by means of the control device, a distance (De) between an axis (Ac) of a data/image acquisition means and the patterns, respectively for a right projection area ZPd and a left projection area ZPg. The control device is used to determine the width (Lm) of the pattern.

    Abstract: A light assembly includes a power source, a first lighting module to perform a high beam function, a second lighting module to perform a low beam function and a driver connected to the voltage source. The driver is connected to a first pin, a second pin and a third pin and is configured to apply a first power output to a first lighting module and to apply a second power output to the second lighting module. The light assembly includes a first switching unit in series with the first lighting module and the second lighting module, and a second switching unit in series with the second lighting module.

    Abstract: A lighting device for a motor vehicle includes a cavity, at least one illumination source arranged in the cavity, and at least one detection system which is arranged in the cavity and includes an emitter and/or a receiver designed to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves in a predetermined wavelength range. The lighting device includes a trim arranged in the cavity and behind which the emitter and/or the receiver of the detection system are arranged. The trim includes an interference filter which is transparent in transmission at wavelengths in the predetermined wavelength range and is reflective for the wavelengths transmitted in the visible spectrum.
