Abstract
A headlight for a vehicle has a reflector, a holder on which the reflector is adjustably supported, an adjusting device for adjustment of the reflector, the adjusting device including an adjusting screw which is rotatable about its longitudinal axis and which is non-displaceable in direction of the longitudinal axis, an indicating device which indicates a deviation of an adjustment of the reflector from a prescribed position, the indicating device having an indicating element which is screwable in a threaded shaft of the adjusting screw, the indicating element being non-rotatable but displaceable in direction of the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw, the indicating element having a springy, expandable threaded shell which is open over a part of its periphery and provided with an inner thread, the indicating element being pre-mounted on a part of the holder in a position which is separate from the adjusting screw and so that a threaded connection of the indicating element with the adjusting screw is performed by pressing the threaded shell transversely to the longitudinal axis of the adjusting screw on the threaded shaft.
