A lighting arrangement includes a lighting chamber having a light-permeable section and a ventilation opening with a filtering membrane. A light source for supplying light is arranged in the lighting chamber. A ventilation arrangement is assigned to the ventilation opening so as to supply ambient air through the ventilation opening to the lighting chamber. The ventilation arrangement includes an air outlet opening assigned to the ventilation opening of the lighting chamber so as to supply the ambient air to the ventilation opening. A distance between the air outlet opening and the filtering membrane is configured so as to be adjustable.

Lighting arrangement for a motor vehicle

A motor vehicle has a wing () with a cutout () and a covering part for covering the cutout (). The covering part is formed by a panel () that is visible from outside and by a closing part () that holds the panel () from the inside against the cutout (). To further increase the functionality of the covering part a connection in terms of flow extends between the closing part () and/or the panel () and headlight unit/lamp unit ().

Covering part

A fastening device is provided for a component which is installed in a depression in an automotive body part, insertable into the depression from the outside via an inclined assembly position, and lockable in an operating position in the depression by a pivoting movement. In the operating position, a mounting part integrally molded on a first edge area of the component is in operative connection with a first side wall section of the depression, and, on an opposite second edge area of the component, an elastic catch part is provided, cooperating with a second side wall section of the depression. The depression also has two wall sections arranged with distance between them. To create the fastening device, with which the design is simplified and which also ensures rapid and simple installation and removal, a device is inserted between the depression and the adjacent component in the area of the two wall sections. The device ensures correctly positioned insertion of the component that is to be installed in the depression, and ensures a defined pivoting of the component about a pivot axis running approximately at a right angle to the wall sections, pivoting it into the operating position. The integrally molded mounting part engages behind a free edge area of the first side wall section when the component is pivoted, whereas the elastic catch part cooperates with a free edge area of the second wall section to form an engaged connection.
