Abstract
A headlamp assembly provided with a retainer for maintaining a headlamp unit in an adjustable support bracket and having a rim that provides an aiming surface for the aiming pads of the headlamp unit. The support bracket carries spring means which engages a rear portion of the headlamp unit and biases the aiming pads of the headlamp unit into engagement with the rim with the result that when a replacement lamp unit is mounted in the support bracket, the replacement lamp unit is automatically aimed by the retainer.
