Abstract

A lamp kit, preferably a headlamp kit, for the installation in a motor vehicle, comprising at least two headlamps (1, 11), preferably two front headlamps,

• • wherein the lamp kit comprises at least two light sources (3, 13) for installation in one each of the two lamps (1, 11),
  • wherein each of the two light sources (3, 13) can emit light in at least one first or one second wavelength, wherein
    • the first of the at least two multicoloured light sources (13) is or can be connected to a first control unit (14) for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the first light source, wherein the first control unit is or can be connected to a first receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal, and
    • the second of the at least two multicoloured light sources (3) is or can be connected to a second control unit (4) for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the second light source, wherein the second control unit (4) is or can be connected to a second receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal;
  • and an arrangement (10) with at least two headlamps (1, 11) of a motor vehicle, and a motor vehicle.

Claims

1-13. -13. (canceled)

14. A lamp kit, preferably a headlamp kit, for installation in a motor vehicle, comprising:

at least two headlamps, preferably two front head-lamps, wherein the lamp kit comprises at least two multicoloured light sources for installation in one each of the two headlamps, wherein each of the two light sources can emit light in at least one first or one second wavelength;

wherein the first of the at least two multicoloured light sources is or can be connected to a first control unit for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the first light source,

wherein the first control unit is or can be connected to a first receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal,

wherein the second of the at least two multicoloured light sources is or can be connected to a second control unit for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the second light source, and

wherein the second control unit is or can be connected to a second receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal.

15. The lamp kit according to claim 14, characterized in that at least the first receiving unit is formed as a wireless access point or as a Bluetooth receiver.

16. The lamp kit according to claim 14, wherein the wireless access point comprises a radio module transmitter and the second receiving unit is formed as a radio module receiver for receiving a radio signal emitted by the radio module transmitter.

17. The lamp kit according to claim 14, wherein the first and second receiving unit are each formed as a Bluetooth receiver.

18. The lamp kit according to claim 14, wherein the first and/or the second of the at least two light sources is or can be connected to several further light sources to form a light strip.

19. The lamp kit according to claim 14, wherein the light sources have a maximum lumen count of at least 50 lm, preferably 80 lm.

20. The lamp kit according to claim 14, wherein at least two, especially all, of the following elements are arranged on a single circuit board:

the first light source, the first control unit, the first receiving unit.

21. A use of the lamp kit according to claim 14 for generating daytime running light and/or parking light in a motor vehicle.

22. An arrangement having at least two lamps of a motor vehicle, especially two front headlamps of a motor vehicle, each of the lamps comprising at least one multicoloured light source, wherein each of the two light sources can emit light in at least one first or one second wavelength,

wherein that the first of the at least two multicoloured light sources is connected to a first control unit for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the first light source,

wherein the first control unit is connected to a first receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal, and

wherein the second of the at least two multicoloured light sources is connected to a second control unit for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the second light source, wherein the second control unit is connected to a second receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal.

23. The arrangement according to claim 22, further comprising:

at least one first cable connection for the power supply of the lamps in daytime running light mode, which connects the first lamp to the second lamp,

at least one second cable connection for the power supply of the lamps in the parking light or low-beam light mode, which connects the first lamp to the second lamp, and

a supply cable which connects the first and/or the second cable connection (8, 9) to an ignition of a motor vehicle.

24. The arrangement according to claim 22, wherein the lamps each comprise two lamp housings, and

a lamp kit comprising at least two headlamps, preferably two front head-lamps, wherein the lamp kit comprises at least two multicoloured light sources for installation in one each of the two headlamps, wherein each of the two light sources can emit light in at least one first or one second wavelength;

wherein the first of the at least two multicoloured light sources is or can be connected to a first control unit for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the first light source,

wherein the first control unit is or can be connected to a first receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal,

wherein the second of the at least two multicoloured light sources is or can be connected to a second control unit for controlling the wavelength of the light emitted by the second light source, and

wherein the second control unit is or can be connected to a second receiving unit for receiving a wirelessly transmitted signal;

wherein all elements of the lamp kit are integrated in the lamp housing.

25. An arrangement according to claim 22, wherein the ignition comprises a control device which carries out the changeover between the daytime running light and the parking light and which controls the power supply of the light sources by a car battery.

26. A motor vehicle comprising an arrangement according to claim 22.
