Abstract

The invention relates to a motor vehicle part including a light unit support possessing an initial “operational” position in which the light unit is held at a given height on the vehicle. The light unit support also is configured to take up a second “depressed” configuration on being subjected to a vertical force that is substantially equal to that of an impact with the head of a pedestrian, in which second configuration the light unit is located lower down relative to the vehicle.
