Abstract

The headlight has a reflector mounted inside a casing and swivelable about an axis by an adjustment element rotatably mounted in the casing. The adjustment element has a portion formed eccentrically to its axis of rotation. In the casing a transmission element is mounted for swiveling about an axis and is swivelably connected to the reflector. The transmission element has a recess in which the eccentric portion of the adjustment element is received, so that the transmission element is coupled, in the tangential direction relative to the axis about which it is swivelable in the casing, to the eccentric portion. On rotation of the adjustment element the reflector is swiveled about the swivel axis and the magnitude of the swiveling movement of the reflector is determined by the magnitude of the eccentricity of the portion and the lever ratios of the transmission element.
