Abstract
A reduced depth headlamp assembly for use in a motor vehicle. The housing includes an exterior lens, and a mirror, and defines a housing axis extending between the exterior lens and the mirror. The projector includes a light source, a reflector, and a condenser lens co-axially arranged along a projector axis defined between the light source and the condenser lens. The projector is mounted to the housing such that the projector axis and the housing axis form an angle, preferably a ninety (90) degree angle, thereby minimizing the depth of the assembly.
