METHOD FOR OPERATING A LIGHTING DEVICE FOR A VEHICLE, A LIGHTING SYSTEM FOR A VEHICLE, AND VEHICLE

Abstract: the disclosure relates in general to a method for operating a lighting device for a vehicle, a lighting system for a vehicle, and a vehicle. the lighting device has at least one lighting element, one actuator and one control device. the lighting element has a plurality of controllable segments with associated supply circuits. the control device has at least one control algorithm. a lighting zone produced by the lighting element is adapted on the basis of the control algorithm of the control device in such a way that the lighting zone produced by the lighting element coincides with a desired illumination zone. the control device adapts the lighting zone produced by the lighting element on the basis of a mechanical degree of actuation determined by the control algorithm and/or a virtual degree of actuation determined by the control algorithm.
