Abstract:
A motor vehicle headlight, comprising:a reflector; a lamp having at least a masking portion mounted in the reflector, wherein the reflector has a reflective surface adapted to selectively generate two types of dipped beam, a first dipped beam for accommodating driving on a left hand side of a road and a second dipped beam for accommodating driving on a right hand side of a road, respectively, the reflector further including a support member which is able to rotate with respect to the reflector and on which the lamp is mounted fixedly, wherein upon rotation of the support member the lamp is rotated between two angular positions with respect to an optical axis of the reflector such that the first dipped beam is generated in a first angular position and the second dipped beam is generated in a second angular position; an actuating device operative with the support member for manually rotating the support member between two working positions corresponding to the two angular positions; and an assembly connected to a fixed part of the headlight for stabilizing the support member in each of the two working positions.
