ABSTRACT:
An adjustment bracket assembly is provided for attachment between an automotive vehicle frame member or the like and a headlamp housing or the like to permit pivotal motion of the headlamp housing relative to the frame member and about generally vertical and horizontal axes so as to achieve corresponding vertical and horizontal aiming of an associated headlamp beam. The adjustment bracket assembly comprises a one-piece integrally formed vertically elongate housing and support member defining generally vertically oriented, elongate guide bores for receiving and supporting an elongate drive shaft member with a free end thereof projecting outwardly of the housing and support member for engagement with a driver for operatively engaging the same with the headlamp housing for selectively causing pivotal movement thereof about one of generally vertical and horizontal axes to achieve one of vertical and horizontal aiming of the associated headlamp beam. The housing and support member further defines a gear box compartment integrally formed therewith for mounting gears to be operatively engaged with the drive shaft and also operatively engaged with the headlamp housing to achieve one of vertical and horizontal pivotal motion thereof in response to rotation of the drive shaft. The housing and support member further includes integrally formed mountings for mounting the same in a secure, non-movable fashion to the automotive vehicle frame member or the like.
