Abstract
A headlamp comprises an aiming adjustment device having an adjusting element for allowing the aiming adjustment, and an adjustment prevention mechanism for preventing any aiming adjustment by unauthorized workers. The adjustment prevention mechanism comprises an external rib which, having a tool insertion hole, forms part of a headlamp assembly and surrounds the adjusting element, and a cover member of which external wall fits to an internal wall of the external rib. Installation of the adjustment prevention mechanism is possible by means of a simple operation, namely, just by pushing the cover member into the external rib. The cover member is formed similarly to a cap so that the cover member covers all openings on the external rib. In addition, the cover member is provided with a fitting means to the adjusting element or the external rib, making it impossible to remove the cover member after it is mounted.
