ABSTRACT:
A lamp (5) is mounted from a rear side of a motor vehicle headlight in an opening (4) at a crown of a reflector (3) of the headlight. A socket (6) of the lamp has a surrounding flange (11) with radial positioning ears (12) extending outwardly therefrom. The opening of the reflector is surrounded by an attaching ring (15) made of resinous-plastic and having spring tongues (16) formed thereon. The positioning ears of the lamp, can be moved between the tongues and the lamp can be screwed about its length axis so as to interengage the positioning ears with the spring tongues. In an end position of the lamp, the spring tongues lie biased against the positioning ears, pressing the flange of the lamp against a seating surface (26) which is formed on an inner rim portion of the attaching ring. The inner rim portion is arranged between the spring tongues and the reflector, to be spaced from the spring tongues.
