A vehicular lighting assembly for compensating for the change in light emission angle due to load on a vehicle. The assembly included at least one lighting element, an actuator associated with the or each lighting element for adjusting a light emission angle of light emitted therefrom relative to the vehicle with which the vehicular lighting assembly is associated, and an actuator housing in which the actuator is housed. A vehicular-pitch-determining sensor is then arranged to indirectly determine a pitch of the vehicle, and associated with a controller for controlling an actuation of the actuator in response to a vehicular pitch as determined by the vehicular-pitch-determining sensor. A vehicular lighting system, pitch-compensation actuation unit, motor vehicle and method of altering the angle of light emission from the headlamps of a motor vehicle are also provided.
