1. A solid state adaptive forward lighting system comprising:

  • a. an LED array comprising a plurality of light emitting diodes, the plurality of light emitting diodes forming a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns in the LED array;

    b. a controller connected to the LED array, the controller operable to selectively illuminate light emitting diodes on the LED array, the illuminated light emitting diodes thereby defining a light source; and

    c. at least one sensor for communicating the automobile'"'"'s orientation to the controller, the controller further operable to move the light source within the LED array based on the input from the at least one sensor, the controller selectively illuminating a number of light emitting diodes adjacent to the light source and extinguishing an equal number of light emitting diodes included in the light source to effectively move the light source within the LED array.
