We described a proposal which enhance actual technology trends and different well known ideas to the possibility of complete scalable illumination of the traffic area by the headlamp. Beside postulated advantages in comfort and driving security for the driver and other traffic participants this concept gives the way to reduce energy consumption and heat insertion in the headlamp without a reduction of high performance levels in driving situations which need every possible lumen light flux. A future discussion could be the integration of day time running light in this concept, a complete automatic adaption of the headlamp to every situation and every hour of the day, resulting in a headlamp which leaves nothing to do for the driver as just drive. For the future an additional development step is the integration of autonomous adjustment for the headlamp. This could yield in a complete automatic, self-adjusting headlamp concept with an optimum and secure illumination combined with the minimum possible of energy consumption. In the next years we will realise a test car equipped with a FAH system, to evaluate the postulated effects and for initializing necessary discussions for a possible serial introduction of a Fully Adaptive Headlamp System.
