The headlamp system of the present invention includes a source array of
semiconductor light sources and a lens system to produce a first
component, such as spread light, of desired beam patterns and a source
array of semiconductor light sources and a lens system to produce a
second component, such as the hot spot components, of the desired beam
patterns. Light from the semiconductor light sources of each source array
is transferred to the respective lens system by a transfer device
comprising a series of light pipes which capture light emitted by the
semiconductor light sources and emit the captured light adjacent the
respective lens systems. One or both source arrays can include additional
semiconductor light sources which are selectively illuminated or
extinguished to provide steering hot spots in the beam pattern to
illuminate areas adjacent the vehicle over which the vehicle will be
turned.
