Zusammenfassung:A low-beam headlight assembly includes a transparent outer lens, an optical reflector housing, and first and second lighting sources. The reflector housing has a reflective inner surface configured to reflect incident light through the transparent outer lens. The lighting sources collectively generate the incident light. The optical reflector housing reflects the incident light from the second lighting source through a designated region of the transparent outer lens to enhance a hot spot adjacent to a beam cut-off zone of a low-beam lighting pattern from the first lighting source. The low-beam headlight assembly may have a vertical height of less than about 20 mm, or about 10 mm and 15 mm. The first lighting source may include light-emitting diodes, while the second lighting source may include a laser device such as a laser diode. A vehicle includes a body and a headlight assembly that includes the low-beam headlight assembly.
