1. A method for operating a headlight system in a motor vehicle, comprising the steps: providing a headlight, which can be operated in a first operating mode with a first response behavior and in a second operating mode with a second response behavior, which is different from the first response behavior, wherein one of the operating modes identifies a normal operating mode or a comfort operating mode and the respective other operating mode identifies a sports operation and wherein the headlight, in a starting position, encompasses a first operating mode; switching from the first operating mode to the second operating mode, in which, immediately after the switchover, the response behavior is rapidly changed, starting with the first response behavior of the first operating mode beyond the second response behavior of the second operating mode, until a third response behavior is reached; reversing the response behavior from the third response behavior until the second response behavior for the second operating mode is reached.
