A vehicle lighting system that projects a primary beam and that comprises a supplemental or auxiliary beam that augments the primary beam that does not exceed any regulatory maximum intensity values. In one embodiment, the lighting system utilizes a multi-lobed lens adapted to distribute light to predetermined areas of the primary beam. A combined beam is created having no portion that exceeds the regulatory maximum intensity. In one illustrative embodiment, the primary beam is a high beam and the combined beam is an augmented primary beam that does not exceed the high beam regulatory limit of 75,000 candelas.
