ABSTRACT:
To largely prevent bodily injury to a pedestrian or cyclist involved in a collision with a passenger motor vehicle with an impact in a headlight area of the vehicle, the headlights are flexibly disposed. For this purpose, a diffusing lens for the headlights is provided with a rearwardly slanted cover plate above a light exit area of the diffusing lens. The cover plate forms a part of the outer contour or shape of the vehicle and essentially maintains the original shape upon an impact load. The cover plate has a length corresponding at least to approximately a half of a height of the light exit area, with a free end of the cover plate being elastically supported by a fixed component of the vehicle.
