Abstract
An optical assembly is provided and includes a first component configured to output light, a second component and an adhesive bonding agent to which a photochromic reactive agent is added and by which the first and second components are attached such that the first component is disposed to output the light toward the second component and such that the photochromic reactive agent is exposed to the light in an event of the first and second components being attached in a misaligned condition whereupon a color change of the photochromic reactive agent resulting from exposure of the photochromic reactive agent to the light is indicative of the misaligned condition.
