Abstract

A headlight system for motor vehicles which comprises a reflector (1), a light source (2), an opaque shield (9) and an actuating member, which member provides for changing of the light source (2) position between the position for the low light beam mode and that for the high light beam mode, whereby the light source (2) is mounted in this actuating member and the resulting force vector induced by this actuating member is situated in proximity of the light source (2) alone.
