Abstract

The headlamp has a light source (2) in a plastic reflector (1) and a sheet metal stop (3) after the source with at least one bearer arm (4) with a free end section (5) of two parts that engages in a reflector opening. The end section consists of two half shells forming a hollow chamber with joints in the insertion direction (7), one formed by radially inward edge sections, the other passing through a flattening of the hollow end section.
