Abstract
An adjustment linkage for vehicle headlamp having housing coupler, adjustment shaft, shaft seal, and threaded coupler for coupling to a pivotable reflector is disclosed. The adjustment linkage is designed to be operated by a Philipshead screwdriver used as a gearing. No permanent gear box is formed in the linkage. A minimal linkage is formed that is accessible from the top of the headlamp module by the length of the screw driver. The adjustment linkage is water sealed to accommodate rotation and pivoting of the linkage.
