Claim Text:
1. A modular high and low beam headlamp assembly with a housing, said headlamp assembly comprising: a low beam headlamp module including: a low beam heat sink and mounting assembly having a low beam heat sink portion with first and second sides and a low beam mounting portion having alignment features formed therein; at least one first low beam LED light source supported by said first side of the low beam heat sink portion; at least one second low beam LED light source supported by said second side of the low beam heat sink portion; and a low beam reflector member attached to the low beam heat sink and mounting assembly such that the low beam heat sink portion separates the low beam reflector member into first and second segments such that light emitted by said at least one first low beam LED light source is reflected by the first segment and light emitted by said at least one second low beam LED light source is reflected by the second segment, said low beam reflector member including mating features for engaging the alignment features formed on the low beam mounting portion to facilitate the alignment of the low beam reflector member to the low beam heat sink and mounting assembly; a high beam headlamp module positioned adjacent to the low beam headlamp module including: at least one high beam LED light source; a high beam heat sink and mounting assembly including a high beam heat sink portion having first and second sides, said first side supporting the at least one high beam LED light source and a high beam mounting portion, said high beam mounting portion having alignment features formed therein; a thermally conductive compound disposed between the high beam heat sink and the at least one high beam LED light source; a high beam reflector member including an upper reflective portion and a lower portion, which are separated by the high beam heat sink portion, said high beam reflector member including mating features engaging the alignment features formed on the high beam mounting portion to facilitate the alignment of the high beam reflector member with the high beam heat sink and mounting assembly; and a reflector carrier including: a first receiving pocket containing the low beam headlamp module, the first receiving pocket having recesses formed therein accepting mounting extensions of the low beam headlamp module such that low beam headlamp module is aligned within reflector carrier; a second receiving pocket containing the high beam headlamp module, the second receiving pocket having recesses formed therein for accepting mounting extensions of the high beam headlamp module such that high beam headlamp module is aligned within said reflector carrier; and a plurality of attachment features formed within a back side of the reflector carrier, wherein at least one of said plurality of attachment features facilitates adjustable attachment of the reflector carrier to the housing.
