ABSTRACT:
When a position of an adjustable shade is switched from a low beam position to a high beam position, a spring acts so as to attenuate an repulsion force or attraction force of the solenoid rapidly due to a sudden increase in an elastic force of the spring at the end of the movement of the adjustable shade toward the high beam position. As a result, the operating noise at the time of switching the position of the adjustable shade is considerably reduced.
