A simultaneous laser welding apparatus of a vehicle light comprising a placement support for a container body and a lenticular body of a vehicle light welded together at reciprocal perimeter profiles, a plurality of laser sources, a plurality of optical fibres associated with the laser sources at input ends for transmitting the light beams, a fibre-holder support device for blocking output ends of the optical fibres in predetermined positions, spaced apart by a pitch, a light guide provided with at least one seat which receives the light beams coming from the output ends of the optical fibres, to a light output wall which sends the light beams towards the welding interface. A single optical fibre is associated with each laser source.

In a vehicle body front structure, including a front hood (10) covering a front space (3) defined in a front part of a vehicle body (4) from above, a front panel (13) laterally extending along and under a front edge of the front hood and facing substantially in a fore and aft direction, the front panel defining an opening (13A) in an outboard part thereof, and a headlight (12) attached to the vehicle body and facing the opening of the front panel from behind the front panel, the headlight is attached to a rear side of the front panel via a bracket (40) which is positionally fixed to a periphery of the opening.

Modular design of a vehicle exterior mirror assembly containing multiple integrated attachment points that allow for the addition of accessory components such as a forward facing light, camera or any other accessories.

A lighting unit for a vehicle is disclosed that includes a housing; a radial flange that extends outwardly of the housing; and at least one retainer that is fixedly connected to the radial flange such that the at least one retainer extends rearwardly towards a body of the vehicle during installation to allow for removable connection of the lighting unit to the body of the vehicle from a location forward of the vehicle. The at least one retainer is configured for insertion into a corresponding opening in the body of the vehicle and includes a resilient material that facilitates deflection of the at least one retainer during installation and removal of the lighting unit.

A vehicle lamp is a vehicle lamp having a light source unit configured to radiate light forward and disposed inside of a lighting body constituted by a housing having an opened front surface and a lens cover that covers the opening of the housing, the light source unit includes a circuit board to which a female connector is attached, and a wiring cord to which a male connector is attached, and the housing includes a restricting section that serves as a stopper of the male connector at a position facing an end portion of the male connector on a side opposite to the male connector in an insertion direction of the male connector in a state in which the male connector is inserted into the female connector.

A headlight assembly for assembly adjacent at least one skin component of a vehicle includes a housing supporting at least one light and a lens attached to the housing. The lens includes at least one attribute for engaging the at least one skin component. The attribute may be a pin or an aperture formed in the lens which may extend a distance from a surface of the lens for guiding the skin component. The skin component may be a grille and the attribute may restrict movement of the headlight assembly relative the grille in a Y-axis direction forming a margin therebetween. The attribute may be a channel including a bracket for guiding the skin component, for instance, a facia into the channel. The attribute may be a cavity formed in the lens for receiving an overlapping portion of the skin component, for example, a grille.

An arrangement of a headlight on a vehicle with protection from damage for the event of a crash, wherein the headlight has a housing with which it is attached to a body of the vehicle by at least one molded attachment feature. A sheet metal element is designed such that it forms a sliding surface for the body in the event of a crash and is arranged on the housing of the headlight.

A universal clamp including a first jaw, a guide, a fixed jaw, an adjustment mechanism, and a coupler. The first jaw has a first clamping face. The guide is coupled to the first jaw. The second jaw has a second clamping face. The second jaw is adjustably connected to the guide to move relative to the first jaw with the first clamping face oriented to face the second clamping face. The adjustment mechanism adjusts and secures the first jaw relative to the second jaw. The coupler is connected to at least one of the first jaw and the second jaw. The coupler is configured to facilitate attachment of a structure to the universal clamp.
