Lighting device for a vehicle headlamp comprising: at least one optically relevant component, an adjustment system for pivoting the optically relevant component about a first and a second axis (y, z), - a first holding element for holding the optically relevant component, - a second holding element for displaceably holding the first holding element on the second holding element, - a support frame for displaceably holding the second holding element on the support frame, as well as - a first adjusting device engaging on the first holding element for displacing the first holding element with respect to the second holding element, and - a second adjusting device engaging the second holding element for displacing the second holding element with respect to the supporting frame, wherein the first holding element and the second holding element comprise an interengaging first group of guide means (3a, 4a), by means of which first group of guide means (3a, 4a) a displacement of the first holding element about the second holding element is guided along an arc (KBy) about the first axis (y), and wherein the second holding element and the support frame comprise an interengaging second group of guide means (4b, 5a), by means of which second group of guide means (4b, 5a) a displacement of the second holding element with respect to the support frame is guided along an arc (KBz) about the second axis (z), the first and the second axis (y, z) being oriented normal to each other, the optically relevant component comprising an imaging optical element in the form of a lens, in particular a projection lens, having a vertex, characterized in that the first and second axes (y, z) intersect each other in the region of the vertex. - a first holding element for holding the optically relevant component, - a second holding element for displaceably holding the first holding element on the second holding element, - a support frame for displaceably holding the second holding element on the support frame, as well as - a first adjusting device engaging on the first holding element for displacing the first holding element with respect to the second holding element, and - a second adjusting device engaging the second holding element for displacing the second holding element with respect to the supporting frame, wherein the first holding element and the second holding element comprise an interengaging first group of guide means (3a, 4a), by means of which first group of guide means (3a, 4a) a displacement of the first holding element about the second holding element is guided along an arc (KBy) about the first axis (y), and wherein the second holding element and the support frame comprise an interengaging second group of guide means (4b, 5a), by means of which second group of guide means (4b, 5a) a displacement of the second holding element with respect to the support frame is guided along an arc (KBz) about the second axis (z), the first and the second axis (y, z) being oriented normal to each other, the optically relevant component comprising an imaging optical element in the form of a lens, in particular a projection lens, having a vertex, characterized in that the first and second axes (y, z) intersect each other in the region of the vertex.
