Abstract (en)

[origin: US5651603A] An opening (3) in a reflector (2) of a vehicle headlight serves to receive a lamp (1). The lamp can be seated against a surface with three support points (4) facing a direction opposite to a mounting direction. The support points are at apexes of a triangle (30) surrounding a lamp axis (7). One of these support points corresponds to a positioning tab (8) extending radially outwardly from a lamp socket (5) which can be seated in a recess (9). A spring holding element (10) applies a force on the socket of the lamp between the positioning tab and the lamp axis in a mounting direction of the lamp as well as toward a fixing element (11).
