A method of manufacturing a lighting device comprising a body of headlamp or rear light of a motor vehicle that comprises a housing enclosing a transparent cover wherein: 1) the body is clamped in a fixture and a set of actual positions of control points of the cover or housing are measured; 2) the measured actual positions of the control points are compared in a three-dimensional model with a respective calculated tolerance space of control points bounded by permissible deviations from nominal positions; 3) if the actual positions of all the control points do not match up within the respective calculated tolerance space of control points, a set of corrected positions is identified and selected; 4) determining corresponding corrected positions of the associated locating elements for attachment of the lighting device from the corrected positions of the control points; and 5) joining the locating elements in the corrected positions.

Method of manufacture of a lighting device

A contact element suitable for SMD printed circuit boards is made of a flexible blank of sheet metal of approximate C-shaped cross-sectional configuration, with dimensions of a DIL package for SMD integrated circuits. The contact element is provided with bent terminals which are soldered onto respective bonding pads upon the circuit board while the top surface of the contact element is provided for contacting by a resilient external countercontact.
