Abstract
An indicator assembly, which is used with an adjusting mechanism, designates an initial or 'zero' position of a movable headlamp component. The adjusting mechanism includes a housing, an adjusting screw which is disposed through the housing, and a driving mechanism which is operatively associated with the screw. A first end of the screw is operatively associated with a movable headlamp component. The indicator assembly includes a hollow, vial-like member which is attached to the housing and a follower member. The second end of the screw is enclosed within the hollow member. The follower member is operatively associated with and selectively positionable on the hollow member to provide an indication of the zero position of the adjusting screw.
