A method for compensating for misalignment of a vehicle headlight generating different beam patterns includes generating a light marking on an object outside the vehicle. The light marking is generated in a region that is located in front of, next to or behind the vehicle between a visibility limit of a camera and a visibility limit of a driver. Images of the light marking and an image of a surrounding area are recorded with a camera. A target illumination related to an image of the surrounding area is determined by taking into consideration illumination rules, and a light-marking-related target illumination is determined by taking into consideration the determined target illumination related to the image of the surrounding area and the recorded image of the light marking. The beam pattern of the headlight is then adjusted by taking into consideration the light-marking-related target illumination.
