Abstract
A motor vehicle headlight wherein plastic reflector and lens components are utilized to house a tungsten-halogen lamp capsule therein. Forming part of the rear portion of the plastic reflector is an upstanding portion for each of the headlight's terminal means. Each upstanding portion includes a surface for having the metallic lug member of the terminal means positioned thereon. Located within an upper part of the upstanding portion is an annular reservoir which surrounds the opening through which a support wire of the lamp capsule component passes. This reservoir is designed for accumulating excess quantities of adhesive used during headlight assembly, particularly during the operation where the lug member is mechanically secured to a metal eyelet which also forms part of the terminal means.
