The headlamp has a housing in which a reflector is arranged adjustably. Engaging on the reflector is an adjusting element which can be moved along its longitudinal axis to make an adjustment. At its end, the adjusting element has a ball head which is arranged in a ball socket connected to the reflector. At the transition between the adjusting element and the ball head there is, over part of the circumference, a flattened portion by which a shoulder is formed. Over the rest of the circumference the transition from the adjusting element to the ball head is stepless. The ball socket has a resilient locking member which can engage on the shoulder, in a rotational position of the adjusting element, to secure the ball head from being pulled out. In another rotational position, the locking member engages on the stepless transition between the adjusting element and ball head so that the ball head can be pulled out of the ball socket and the adjusting element can be removed.

Headlamp for vehicles

A headlight for motor vehicles has a reflector, a lamp support, a gas discharge lamp arranged in the reflector on the lamp support and including a region extending in the reflector and a glass cylinder which at least partially absorbs light in UV-wavelength range and surrounds the region of the gas discharge lamp, and a light stop which at least partially screens a light emitted by the gas discharge lamp. The light stop is at least indirectly mounted on the reflector, the glass cylinder is held on the light stop at least in its end region facing a light direction, the glass cylinder adjoins the lamp support, and the lamp support and the gas cylinder are arranged so that an opening leading to an interior of the glass cylinder remains between the lamp support and the glass cylinder.
