The invention concerns a vehicle headlight with a reflector that is made out of a plastic with a high content of filler to increase its thermal stability and that is mounted in an accommodating component in such a way that it can be adjusted around at least one axis consisting of two ball-and-socket like pivot points. The articulating bushing for each ball-and-socket joint is shaped like a sleeve and inserted into a sleeve-shaped extension shaped onto the reflector. The outer surface of the sleeve-shaped articulating bushing is lightly tensioned against the inner surface of the sleeve-shaped extension by means of readily deforming sections. The articulating bushing has at least one resilient snap-in nose mounted radially in relation to the axis of the sleeve on the end of a resilient arm and engaging an undercut in the wall of the sleeve-shaped extension. The resilient arm is longer than the wall of the arm is thick by a multiple factor.
