Claim:
A headlamp mounting structure of an automobile comprising headlamp units mounted between opposite sides of a radiator core support panel in a widthwise direction of a vehicle and a front portion of a front fender, wherein the rear portions of the headlamps and the front fender are close to each other, the headlamp mounting structure comprising: a front mounting position of a front portion of the headlamp unit and the radiator core support panel are formed into an inserting structure capable of adjusting an inserting amount, whereby a mating surface of the inserting structure is inclined outward of the vehicle and rearward, a rear mounting position of a rear portion of the headlamp unit is formed into a fastening structure which superposes the headlamp unit, the radiator core support panel and the front fender on one another and integrally fastening the same, wherein a diameter of a bolt-inserting hole on the side of the radiator core support panel of the fastening structure is set greater than that of a bolt, and wherein a periphery of the bolt-inserting hole of the headlamp is provided with an annular projection which abuts against a surface of the front fender and which can be crushed and deformed by fastening the bolt, the annular projection is crushed and deformed by fastening the bolt to bring the annular projection into contact with a peripheral surface of the bolt-inserting hole of the radiator core support panel under pressure, the radiator core support panel is allowed to slide and move within the margin having the same diameter as that of the bolt-inserting hole to carry out automatic alignment, thereby making it possible to adjust the mounting position.
