ABSTRACT:
A vehicle headlamp including a lamp unit coupled to a lamp housing via horizontal and vertical aiming mechanisms each including an aiming screw. At least the horizontal aiming screw is coupled to the lamp unit via a socket seat of flexible material fastened to the back of the lamp unit. The socket seat flexibly carries a socket in which the ball on one end of the horizontal aiming screw is engaged. The flexible socket seat takes up torsional stresses that are exerted on the horizontal aiming screw while this screw is being tightened or loosened for horizontally aiming the headlamp.
