Abstract

The arrangement is intended for adjusting the headlights (33) of a motorcar from inside. It comprises a rotatable knob (2) on a control unit (1), which converts the rotation of the knob into a linear movement. An actuator unit (32) connected to the control alters the angle of the headlight, to which it is connected. The control unit has pref. a rotatable cam whose face alters the linear position of a cam follower, which is connected via a cable to a spring-loaded headlight adjusting element in the actuator unit. The latter may contain a cylindrical cup, snap-on coupled to the operating handle. Its bottom wall bore carries a shaft whose one end has a mandrel, while its other end connects to movement transmission.
