Abstract
A retractable headlamp mounting structure includes a fixed bracket mounted on an automobile frame for supporting a motor, a movable bracket pivotally supported on the fixed bracket for holding a headlamp, and a link having one end connected to the movable bracket and another end connected to the motor, the motor being energizable to cause the movable bracket to be angularly moved through the link between a position at which the headlamp projects out of the automobile hood and a position at which the headlamp is retracted within the hood. The fixed bracket is disposed on the side of a radiator support facing the rear of the automobile to shorten the distance between the radiator support and the front bumper of the automobile.
