Abstract: A vehicle headlamp assembly includes a box-like support frame enclosing a lamp body mounted adjustably, as by support shoes slidable in slots of the frame, by rotary manipulation of threaded elements, accessible at improved locations on the frame.

Abstract: An improved electrical connector for use with a headlight assembly of the type in which the headlight is sandwiched between a bezel and a housing with an inner surface of the housing overlying the back surface of the headlight with an access hole in the housing opening to the headlight terminals. The electrical connector compensates for angular tolerance variations in the headlight terminals that can cause a variance in the spatial relation between the connector and the housing. The connector includes a pliant sealing boot surrounding a rigid socket, with ears of the socket contained within pockets of the sealing boot, cooperatively forming composite compression pads of a dual flexibility.

Abstract: A support shoe for pivotably connecting a headlamp body to a support frame and including a block member and a retaining member each of which is provided with a spherical surface so, when the block member and retaining member are interconnected, a socket is formed for the ball portion of the ball stud connected to the headlamp body.

Abstract: A headlamp assembly provided with a retainer for maintaining a headlamp unit in an adjustable support bracket and having a rim that provides an aiming surface for the aiming pads of the headlamp unit. The support bracket carries spring means which engages a rear portion of the headlamp unit and biases the aiming pads of the headlamp unit into engagement with the rim with the result that when a replacement lamp unit is mounted in the support bracket, the replacement lamp unit is automatically aimed by the retainer.

Abstract: A headlamp assembly which includes a support bracket that carries a pair of headlamp units in side-by-side relationship and is attached to a support housing at three pivot points so as to allow simultaneous adjustable positioning of the headlamp units about a horizontal axis or a vertical axis.

Abstract: A retainer member for maintaining a headlamp within a housing characterized in that one portion of the retainer member is connected to the housing by a pivotal connection and another portion of the retainer member is connected to the housing by a spring clip arrangement that is manually released when it is desired to remove the headlamp from the housing.

Abstract: A spring clip which is removably attached to a retainer member for maintaining a headlamp within a housing and includes a pair of leg sections carried by the housing that cooperate with a flange on the retainer member for locking the retainer member to the housing.

Abstract: A substantially rigid bumper is mounted to vehicle frame by special spring brackets which allow bumper movement relative to frame on impact. Cellular energy absorbing media housed within the brackets absorb impact energy and cooperate with bracket for improved bumper support.

Abstract: A support housing for a vehicle headlamp that includes a pair of pivotally interconnected ring members adjustable about a pair of mutually perpendicular pivot axes by a pair of vertically oriented adjustment screws which are located to the rear of the headlamp and within the peripheral confines of the headlamp lens.
