Abstract
An actuator for adjusting the setting of a motor vehicle headlamp includes a body which comprises a housing closed by a cover, with a sliding actuating rod mounted in the body and passing through a front wall of the housing of the body. Also within the body is a reversible electric motor for operating the sliding actuating rod through a mechanical transmission, which includes a drive member that engages with the actuating rod. The front wall of the housing carries at least one inwardly projecting lateral wall, which is arranged to support an intermediate element that forms part of the mechanical transmission device and which engages with the drive element.
