Zusammenfassung:	A control system (40) for controlling at least one exterior vehicle light (22) of a controlled motor vehicle comprises a control unit (44) in communication with the at least one exterior vehicle light. The control unit is operable for receiving a vehicular input that includes at least one of a vehicle speed, a vehicle turn rate, a vehicle wheel angle, a vehicle compass direction, a vehicle pitch, a vehicle location, a weather condition and an ambient light level; determining a desired beam pattern based upon the vehicular input; receiving an image of a forward field of view of the motor vehicle from an image sensor; analyzing the received image; and modifying the desired beam pattern based upon the analyzed image, wherein more than two distinct beam patterns can be provided.
