摘要: A vehicle front lighting assembly (12), or headlight assembly, and system (312), that includes one more variable tint electrowetting elements (34, 334) overlying a portion of the lens surface (22). The element is configured to operate transparent state whereby hue light passing therethrough not changed, tinted where changed. Alternatively, an opaque blocked from through element. may use emitting diodes (LED) as alternative conventional sources.
