(54)	A motor vehicle headlamp and an optical system, for motor vehicles including such a headlamp

(57) A motor vehicle headlamp (1) of the type having a coloured filter (6) for making the light beam assume the colour required by photometric standards has a body (2) constituted by a half-shell containing the lamp and mounted on a face of the bodywork (C) which is not visible and has an aperture (A) centred on the lamp (5), and by an auxiliary member (7) which is in the form of a frame disposed on the visible face (C₂) of the bodywork (C) and on which the transparent glass (11) of the headlamp (1) is mounted. The auxiliary member (7) is painted along with the bodywork (C) so as to reflect, together with the surface of the bodywork adjacent the aperture (A), the light rays coming from the exterior onto the entire surface of the transparent glass (11) so as to make the transparent glass (11) assume the colour of the bodywork (C) of the motor vehicle when the lamp is switched off, preventing the coloured filter (6) from being visible from the exterior.
