ABSTRACT:
The motor vehicle is provided with headlamps mounted on a common cross rod which is angularly sprung by means of a tilting system including a lever secured to the cross rod. The headlamps are normally urged into an extreme downwardly tilted position by means of a manually operable device. In one form, the manually operable device takes the form of a solenoid having an operating rod which engages lever attached to the cross rod. The solenoid is electrically connected with a manually operable headlamp lighting switch. The arrangement is such that when the solenoid is de-energised, the operating rod thereof urges the lever into an extreme position in which the headlamps are tilted downwardly. When the headlamp lighting switch is operated to illuminate the headlamps, the solenoid attracts the rod and so releases the lever secured to the cross rod so that tilting of the headlamps can be effected by the headlamp tilting mechanism.
In another embodiment, the headlamp lighting switch has an operating rod which is attached to one end of a cable whose other end passes slidably through an aperture in the lever connected with the cross rod and which is operable to move the lever into a position corresponding to an extreme downward tilt of the headlamps when the lighting circuit to the headlamps is opened, but is arranged to release the lever for movement under the action of the headlamp tilting system when the lighting circuit of the headlamps is closed.
