Abstract
This cross-beam has a central part (12) forming a support for a heat exchange and two lateral parts (14) forming supports for respective headlights. Each lateral part (14) is connected to the central part (12) by releasable fastening means (22, 26 to 32). The fastening means preferably include, associated with each lateral part (14), two complementary positioning dihedra (D1) respectively on the central part (12) and on the corresponding lateral part (14), and complementary means (22, 26 to 32) for immobilizing the dihedra relative to each other cooperating with each other by relative displacement of the dihedra substantially parallel to their edge (A1).
