Abstract

The invention relates to an alignment element (10), with which an attachment part (50) can be positioned on a structure part (42) of a motor vehicle. The alignment element (10) is also suitable for retaining the attachment part (50) at a defined distance to the structure part (42) under non-destructive force transmission, and for compensating an occurring angular adjustment (W). The invention also relates to an illumination assembly (28) for a vehicle having the alignment element (10) and a corresponding method for mounting an illumination device (34) on the vehicle. Finally, a vehicle (32) comprising the illumination assembly (28) is also an object of the invention.
