A headlight for a motor vehicle, comprising a first luminous surface, wherein the headlight is configured so that light emanates from the first luminous surface and is used to generate a high-beam light distribution. A second luminous surface is provided such that light emanates from the second luminous surface and is used to generate a forefield portion of a low-beam light distribution. Projection optics are configured so as to project light emanating from the first and second luminous surface into an area around the motor vehicle.
