Abstract
A device for adjusting the inclination of vehicular headlamps includes an electric motor for positioning the headlamps, an adjusting switch for selecting one of a plurality of predetermined headlamp positions and a reversing switch connected to the adjusting switch. The reversing switch is mechanically coupled to the actuator of the adjusting switch such that when the direction of headlamp inclination is reversed, the motor direction is reversed thereby preventing momentary movement of the headlamps through unintended angles of inclination.
