ABSTRACT:
A pivot capsule for a motor vehicle headlamp has a seating receiving a substantially spherical head of a fixing rod of substantially axial orientation extending from a housing of the headlamp to allow the lighting module to pivot. The seating is open at its two transverse ends. The seating has a channel which receives the head, and at least two lugs extending with play on both sides of the channel and the head. The recurved arms incorporate ends bearing on the head substantially at its junction with the rod to hold it securely in the channel. An additional retaining element of the pivot capsule is intended to be inserted via an open end of the seating and which includes at least one retaining surface.
