Abstract

The present invention relates to auxiliary spotlights (headlamps) for automobile vehicles, for example fog and spot lamps. Such auxiliary spotlights generally comprise a sealed beam unit, i.e. a reflector-light source-glass assembly, housed in a casing forming a protective housing. A system of articulated assembly connects the casing to the automobile vehicle on which the spotlight is thus fixed by the outside.
