ABSTRACT:
A headlamp includes an adjusting mechanism for adjusting a reflector (3) of the headlamp about at least one axis (8). The adjusting mechanism comprises a threaded nut (9) attached to the reflector and a threaded shaft (12) which is rotatably mounted on a stationary part (1) of the headlamp. Adjustment of the reflector is displayed by a scale-like indicator mechanism which includes a fixed part (24) and an adjustable part (15). According to the invention, the adjustable part is formed of an idling toothed wheel (15) that meshes with a pinion (21) of the threaded shaft but which can be disengaged therefrom by axial displacement of the toothed wheel.
