Method and device for adjusting a pivot angle of a headlamp while driving around a corner

The method involves determining a course of highway lines (11c, 12c), and determining contact points (11b, 12b) in which tangent points (11a, 12a) from a headlamp (12) to the contact point are contacted with the highway lines. The headlamp is adjusted such that a projection of an intersection of a horizontal portion of a cut-off line of the headlamp and an ascending branch of a cut-off line of the headlamp in a plane in front of a vehicle (1) i.e. motor car, and perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the vehicle fall within a circle of predetermined radius about the contact points. An independent claim is also included for a device for adjusting a pivot angle of a headlamp with an asymmetrical low beam when a vehicle is negotiating a bend.
