In a known headlight for a motor vehicle, a lens is glued to a headlight shell. According to the invention, a cover disk is surrounded, on its outer circumference, with at least one outwardly projecting profile shoulder. A sealing profile is designed as a securing frame which form-lockingly reaches over the profile shoulder of the cover disk and is mechanically fastened to the shell. The fastening arrangement is used for front headlights of passenger cars.

A fastening arrangement fits a vehicle lamp in a receptive trim element and has at least two holders protruding from the lamp in the peripheral region of a diffusing screen. The holders are spaced apart and, when the lamp is installed, are fixed to associated holders of the trim element. One of the protruding holders, as the lamp is inserted, is able to be put together with the associated holder of the trim element, and having the plug connection secured by a screw fastening. The lamp, as it is inserted into the trim element, is conveyed into its installation position by a longitudinal displacement motion essentially parallel to the principal extent of the diffusing screen to eliminate the need for the frame opening in the trim element to be overdimensioned relative to the lamp. Each holder protruding from the lamp in the peripheral region of the diffusing screen extends in the sliding direction and is put together with its associated holder on the trim element. The screw-connectable holders, once the lamp is displaced into its installation position, are disposed behind the lamp to be accessible by a screwing tool.

A spraying device for headlamp-cleaning systems for motor vehicles having an essentially cylindrical nozzle carrier which comprises two sections, with the vehicle-external nozzle carrier section being formed from a number of annular segments connected to one another in a hinge-like manner. In a rest position, the nozzle carrier is retracted in the vehicle body. When moved into the operating setting outside the vehicle, the front nozzle carrier section comprising the annular segments curves in an arc shape, such that a cleaning nozzle fitted to the head end of the nozzle carrier comes to be situated in an area just in front of the headlamp diffusing screen.
