ABSTRACT:
An adjusting mechanism for alignment of a vehicle headlamp or the like includes a molded housing in which an adjusting gear is journaled and movably coupled to an adjusting member so that rotation of the adjusting gear imparts linear movement to the adjusting member for adjusting orientation of the headlamp. The housing includes first and second portions thereof which are joined by clamping the second housing portion between the first housing portion and a support structure to which the adjusting mechanism is secured. Clamping structure can be integrally provided on the first housing portion and secured directed to the support structure so that separate fasteners are eliminated. The clamping structure on the first housing portion can be a plurality of resiliently deflectable coupling hooks projecting therefrom. The hooks are resiliently deflected and inserted through receiving aperture in a supporting panel of the vehicle so that the hooks are snap-fitted against peripheral edges of the aperture in locking engagement to retain the clamped securement of the cap.
