Abstract
A method of assembling a headlamp includes inserting a spring () into spring-receiving openings () in side walls () or other structures projecting vertically from opposing sides of a base () of an LED module () so that opposing end portions of the spring () project in opposite directions from the side walls (). Spring-engaging slots () formed in brackets () extending from opposing sides of a platform () of a reflector carrier () engage the opposing spring end portions (). A deforming force is applied to the spring end portions () via the spring-engaging slots () until a front edge of the reflector carrier () passes over tops of pins () projecting vertically from the base () of the LED module (). A vertical separation between the front edge of the base of the LED module () is decreased until the front edge () is below the tops of the pins ().
