Abstract
The cover plate and the housing of a vehicle headlight are connected by at least one catch device and a projecting part that engages behind the catch device, which moves in a spring direction, in a self-locking manner. The catch device has a first slip-interface surface which, when viewed in its spring direction, extends at an acute angle to a direction of assembly at every point along the first slip-interface surface. The projecting part has a second slip-interface surface which, when viewed in the direction of assembly of the cover plate, extends at an acute angle to the spring direction of the catch device at every point along the second slip-interface surface.
