Abstract

A lighting module comprising a light source of the LED type (not visible), a reflector with an elliptical reflective surface and a lens, the module being provided with means of quick-fastening to a mount. These means comprise a flange fitted with tabs (not visible) able to collaborate with corresponding notches of an orifice in the mount. This mounting allows the module to be fitted and removed very easily so that the light source or sources can be replaced, without disturbing the beam alignment. The invention also relates to the mount in question and to a corresponding headlamp.
