Abstract
A motor vehicle headlight module capable of being used as part of a headlighting assembly containing several (e.g., at least four) such modules therein. Each assembly may in turn provide one-half of the total forward lighting system for a motor vehicle. Each module includes a high temperature plastic parabolic reflector, a low wattage (e.g., 18 watts) tungsten halogen capsule, and a planar glass lens for providing a seal for the module. Each module is adapted for being readily aligned within a holder member which forms part of such an assembly and may be retained therein by relatively simple means (e.g., a wireform). The invention further includes a connector means (e.g., female socket) designed for being slidably positioned on the rear neck portion of the invention's reflector to effect contact with the invention's capsule.
