German term or phrase: Blende
Die Beleuchtungseinheit des Kraftfahrzeugscheinwerfers umfasst eine Blende, die im Strahlengang zwischen dem ersten Reflektor und dem zweiten Reflektor angeordnet ist.

Is this a bezel? I've also come across 'headlight eyebrow' in my research, but maybe that is too specific as the term doesn't appear again in the text.

Explanation:

This is not quite the same context, but the idea is similar. It's an object that changes the size or direction of the beam:

baffle
An element placed in the arc path and having no separate external connection; it may:
1) influence the flow of gas or vapour
or 2) influence the flow of radiant energy
or 3) influence the distribution of current

Dazu wird keine Streustrahlblende vor dem Detektor- feld (DF) verwendet, sondern es kommt eine Lösung des physikalischen Problems zur Anwendung.
This is achieved not by using a scattered radiation baffle in front of the detector field (DF), but by applying a solution to the physical problem

agree  Johannes Gleim: @ Barbara: die im Video gezeigte Blende befindet sich nicht im Strahlengang zwischen zwei Reflektoren, sondern außerhalb. Der Begriff stimmt trotzdem.
