Abstract
A vehicle headlight includes a cover and a housing, which receive therein a primary light source unit mounted to a bulb seat of the housing and a position light unit mounted to a position light seat of the housing. The housing forms a first water barrier wall above the bulb seat and also forms a second water barrier wall above the position light and the position light seat. The second water barrier wall is arranged between the first water barrier wall and an adjustment mechanism and located exactly below the first water barrier wall. The adjustment mechanism is secured to the housing and located below the second water barrier wall. The first and second water barrier walls help prevent external water from eroding the primary light source unit and the position light unit, and the adjustment mechanism facilitates adjustment of elevation angle of the headlight.
