Abstract

A headlamp adjusting system, particularly for motor vehicles, includes a headlamp body and optical system having reflector and regulating elements for adjustment and fixation of the reflector. The reflector is carried by a part of a pivot holder that, by means of a weakening hinge, allows swinging movement of the central portion of the pivot holder. The fixed portion of the pivot holder is connected to the headlamp body. A socket for holding an end of the regulating element is provided at the free side of the pivot holder. For adjustment of the reflector in two mutually different planes, the central part of the pivot holder is swingable by means of two hinges.
