Abstract
An apparatus for mounting a bulb in a reflector opening of a headlight includes tongues which are cut-out and bent-out of a portion of the reflector from which an opening is formed through which a bulb to be mounted thereat is inserted. These tongues engage notches in an edge of a base flange of the bulb in a radial direction to prevent rotation thereof. A holding spring which spans over the flange of the bulb base lies under tension against the flange and urges it against an opening frame of the reflector. The holding spring is attached to the reflector at cut outs in edges of the mounting tongues on opposite sides of the opening. Spring tongues from a middle portion of the holding spring impinge on the bulb base flange.
