Methods and devices are described. A device includes an optical carrier part and a heatsink bulk part. The optical carrier part has an LED mounting area configured to receive an LED and an alignment feature configured for aligning with an optical component. The heatsink bulk part is separate from the optical carrier part and joined to the optical carrier part, such that the optical carrier part and the heatsink bulk part in conjunction are configured to perform a thermal management of an LED module, including the LED, and the heatsink bulk part, in operation.

A light module for a headlight of a motor vehicle, the light module having: a circuit board having at least one illuminating device for emitting light, wherein the circuit board has a longitudinal extent along a Y-axis, a width extent, extending perpendicular to the longitudinal extent, along an X-axis, and a vertical extent, extending perpendicular to the longitudinal extent and the width extent, along a Z-axis; a reflector; and a heat sink on which the circuit board is fastened. The heat sink is fastened to the reflector via a first fastener in such a manner that the first fastener secures a first referencing structure and/or a second referencing structure of the reflector against the circuit board such that the at least one illuminating device is located in a reference position in the direction of the Y-axis and in the direction of the X-axis relative to the reflector.

A lamp unit includes a light source including a plurality of light emitting elements provided in a common substrate; a projection lens that projects light emitted from the light source toward a front of the lamp unit to form a required light distribution pattern; and a light-transmitting body disposed between the light source and the projection lens and that forms a projection image by controlling transmission of light emitted from the light source. The light transmitting body includes a plurality of incident portions that causes light emitted from each of the plurality of light emitting elements to be incident, and the light transmitting body and the substrate are supported by a lens holder that supports the projection lens.
