Abstract
A headlight for a vehicle has a housing, a gas discharge lamp arranged in the housing and having an opening, a closing part arranged to close the opening of the housing, a voltage source with which the gas discharge lamp is connectable, a plug connection provided for connecting the gas discharge lamp with the voltage source and including a stationary plug part arranged on the housing and a releasable plug part arranged outside of the housing. The closing part is releasable from outside of the housing for releasing the opening and has an extremity which in a position in which the closing part closes the opening, extends in the plug connection. The releasable plug part is elastically deformable at least in a region and, in an initial condition before its mounting, has a shape in which it is not electrically conductively connectable with the stationary plug part. The releasable plug part during its mounting is brought by the extremity of the closing part by elastic deformation to a mounting form in which it is electrically conductively connectable with the stationary plug part, and the extremity of the closing part when the releasable plug part is mounted is blocked between the releas…
