A vehicle headlight may include a plurality of selectively activatable light sources configured to emit laterally disjoint light beams, and a lens disposed optically downstream of the light sources and having a light entrance surface and a light exit surface for the light beams. The lens may include a first partial region having a first partial surface of the light entrance surface and a first partial surface of the light exit surface. The lens may further include a second partial region having a second partial surface of the light entrance surface and a second partial surface of the light exit surface. The first partial surface of at least one of the light entrance surface or the light exit surface may have a shape such that the first partial region has a greater divergent effect on lightpassing through the first partial region than through the second partial region. A method operating the vehicle headlight can switch between a first operation mode and a second operation mode.
