A motor vehicle headlight has a light source cooperating with optical means to
produce a beam which is generally spread widthwise. The optical means, such as
a reflector, are adapted to produce in the beam two separate zones of maximum light
intensity. The headlight gives two alternative functions, such as a short range
lighting function for negotiating bends, and a foglight function, without the need
for any movable optical components. The disclosure is also directed to a pair of
vehicle lights so adapted, one on the right and one on the left of the vehicle.
