Provided is an illumination device mounted in a vehicle. The illumination device includes: a light source; a projection lens unit having a projection lens; a support member that supports the projection lens; a shaft portion including a pivot axis that extends in a direction intersecting with an optical axis; a shaft holding portion that holds the shaft portion to be pivotable around the pivot axis; a screw member provided to be rotatable around a rotation axis that extends in a direction different from the optical axis; and a conversion mechanism that converts a rotating motion of the screw member around the rotation axis into a pivoting motion of the shaft portion around the pivot axis. The screw member and the conversion mechanism are positioned farther away from the optical axis than the shaft portion and the shaft holding portion in the direction intersecting with the optical axis.

A closing element for closing a service opening in the housing of a headlamp, and a method therefor, the closing element having a ventilation component, with the aid of which a gas exchange between an inside and an outside of the housing of the headlamp is facilitated. The closing element includes a sealing formation, on which a sealing member may be arranged or is arranged, so that the ventilation component may be or is temporarily closed with the aid of the sealing member.

A ventilation member is attached to a through hole of a housing. The ventilation member includes: a support body in which a ventilation path that forms a flow path for gas between the interior and the exterior of the housing; a sealing member that seals between the support body and the housing; a ventilation membrane that is provided on the ventilation path to prevent a liquid and a solid from passing through and to allow gas to pass through; and a contacted portion that is provided to the support body and is formed with a uniform height to surround an end portion opening of the ventilation path. This makes it possible to easily close the ventilation path of the ventilation member.

Lamp module 32 contains solid-state light source 17 and has mounting flange 42 coupleable to headlamp reflector 12. Lamp module 32 has base 2 defining central post 4, post 4 defining internal first air passage 401. Base and post act are heat sinks. Fan 8 is disposed within base 2. Circuit board 14 having LED arrays 17 is mounted inside post 4 in fluid communication with first air passage 401. Base 2 defines second air flow passage 405 exterior of post 4, second air passage 405 being oriented to direct air past mounting flange 42. Base 2 further defines third air passage 410 rearward of mounting flange 42 and radially outward from second air passage 405. Mounting flange 42 may be keys coupleable to slots 15. A method of directing an air stream through slots 15 in reflector socket 121 is described.
