Abstract
A motor vehicle headlamp comprises a housing which encloses a lamp, a mirror cooperating with the lamp so as to define a light beam, and a cover glass, together with adjustable mounting means to enable the orientation of the beam to be varied, these mounting means comprising an adjusting member which is displaceable in translation with respect to a fixed part of the vehicle, together with an orientation indicating means. The orientation indicating means comprise a graduated element carrying a scale, together with an indicating element having a pointer, these two elements being adjacent to each other and both mounted on the outside of the housing; and means for carrying one of these two elements in such a way that it is displaceable in translation with the adjusting member, with a further means carrying the other one of the said elements on the fixed part of the vehicle. One of these carrier means is adjustable in the direction in which the adjusting member is displaceable.
