A light device for a motor vehicle, the light device including: a housing; a heat sink over moulded with the housing; at least one light source arranged directly on the heat sink; a control device for the electrical power supply of the at least one light source arranged in the housing and electrically connected to the light source; an optical element suitable for cooperating with light rays emitted by the at least one light source.

To eliminate a space for adjusting an optical axis, which is provided between an extension and a lamp unit to adjust the optical axis of a headlight. An extension and a lamp unit are contained in a housing. The circumference of the lamp unit is joined to the extension, whereby the lamp unit is fixed to the extension so as to eliminate a space between the circumference of the lamp unit and the extension. The extension is coupled to the housing via an optical axis adjuster. The optical axis adjuster makes the extension and the lamp unit tilt integrally, thereby adjusting the optical axis. Thus, the optical axis is adjustable although a conventional space for adjusting the optical axis is not provided, whereby the appearance of the headlight is improved.

A snap wedge assembly is provided that includes a ball stud having a ball end configured for engagement with a light module, and an insert coupled with the ball stud, the insert comprising an insert first end and an insert second end, a plurality of wedges, each having wedge side surfaces and a wedge top surface that extend longitudinally from the insert first end towards the insert second end, wherein the wedge top surface tapers outward as it extends towards the ball end, and a plurality of snap fingers, the snap fingers each including an elongated flexible portion and a latching portion.

A lighting device for a vehicle, having a housing, at least one light module for producing a light function, a supporting frame that is arranged in the housing so as to be pivotable. The at least one light module is mounted in the supporting frame such that it is pivoted upon a pivoting of the supporting frame. An adjuster is designed to pivot the supporting frame about a vertical axis. The adjuster being connected to the supporting frame in a first engagement region and in a second engagement region that is arranged horizontally on the opposite side of the supporting frame. The adjuster moving the supporting frame in a first horizontal direction in the first engagement region and to simultaneously move it in a second horizontal direction, which is opposite to the first direction, in the second engagement region.

An apparatus, according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, a lamp housing that houses a headlamp adjuster assembly moveable between an adjustment position and an inaccessible stowed position within the lamp housing, and a holder to hold the headlamp adjuster assembly in the adjustment position. The holder is selectively removable such that the headlamp adjuster assembly retracts to the inaccessible stowed position. A method according to an exemplary aspect of the present disclosure includes, among other things, biasing a headlamp adjuster toward the inaccessible stowed position, installing the holder to hold the headlamp adjuster external to the lamp housing against the biasing force, adjusting a position of a headlamp with the headlamp adjuster, and removing the holder such that the headlamp adjuster retracts to the inaccessible stowed position.

A vehicle lamp includes a laser light source that is able to emit laser light and emits laser light generated by the laser light source forward from an emission end. The vehicle lamp includes a light-shielding member that shields the emission end from light from above to at least a horizontal position in front of the emission end.

A headlight for vehicles, in particular trucks, comprising a lighting unit which is pivotably mounted about a pivot axis; a linear drive unit which contains a linearly movable actuator; and a pivoting lever which is coupled to a lighting unit at a first end and to the actuator at a second end, wherein the lighting unit is pivotable by means of the actuator. The pivoting lever is designed in multiple parts, comprising a lower pivoting lever element having a support part for supporting on the actuator and an upper pivoting lever element on which a horizontal axis is arranged, the pivoting lever being pivotably mounted about said axis.

An adjustment mechanism configured to adjust a reference position of an optical axis of a projection lens of a lens unit has a reference axis perpendicular to the optical axis and disposed in a plane which intersects with a focal point of the projection lens. The lens unit moves in an extension direction of the reference axis in accordance with rotation of a second screw. An acting point of a force to move the lens unit is disposed in a plane formed by the optical axis and the reference axis.

A vehicle headlamp includes a surface light source and a reflector that forms a low beam light distribution pattern having an oblique cut-off line and a horizontal cut-off line. The surface light source is provided in a perpendicular direction with respect to an optical axis of the reflector, and the reflector forms a hot zone of the light distribution pattern by first areas with a great disposition angle and second areas with a small disposition angle where a light source image of the surface light source becomes narrow and small.

A vehicle lamp assembly is provided herein. The lamp assembly includes a housing including one or more light sources therein. The housing is configured to couple with a backing plate. A first electrical connector is disposed on the housing. A second electrical connector is attached to the backing plate and is coupled with a vehicle power source. The first electrical connector is coupled with the second electrical connector as the housing is inserted into the backing plate.
