Abstract
The subject invention relates to automotive headlamp assemblies with a sign light shield. In an exemplary embodiment, the sign light shield can be raised or lowered by an actuator into or out of a reflecting position that allows the sign light shield to reflect light emitted from a light source through the upper portion of a lens. In another embodiment, the headlamp assembly can comprise two cutoff shields mounted to a rotatable shaft, where one of the cutoff shields has a sign light shield mounted directly to it and the other cutoff shield does not have a sign light shield. An actuator rotates the shaft until the sign light shield is in a position that will allow it to reflect light out of the upper portion of the lens or until the sign light shield is in a position where it cannot reflect any light.
