[Detailed description of the invention] (Field of industrial application) This invention is a lamp case that is fixed to the headlamp support panel of a vehicle to house side marker lamps, turn lamps, etc., and has one end fixed to the front fender. The present invention relates to a mounting structure for a vehicle lamp mounting bracket that supports the other end.

(Prior art) As shown in Figure 4, the front body of a vehicle is
Left and right front side members 1, 1, front fender aprons 2, 2 connected to these front side members 1, 1, respectively, and a front cross connecting each tip of each front side member 1, 1. Member 3 and the front cross member 3
An atsupaba (radiator support) 4 arranged above and connecting the upper parts of the left and right front fender aprons 2, 2, and a front cross member 3
A headlamp support is disposed between the left and right front fender aprons 2, 2 of the top bar 4 and the front ends of the left and right front fender aprons 2, 2 to connect them and to which a headlamp (not shown) is attached. The framework is composed of panels 5, 5, etc. These headlamp support panels 5,5
has a flat plate shape and supports a headlamp (not shown).

Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 5, a flange 6a is welded to the front surface of the headlamp support panel 5, which is formed by bending the rear end of the bracket 6, which is bent into a substantially L-shape when viewed from the end, at a substantially right angle. A side marker lamp and a turn lamp are housed in the front end 6b of the bracket, and one end of the lamp case is fixed to the front fender, and the other end of the lamp case is fixed and supported.

(Problem that the invention aims to solve) By the way, in recent years, in order to improve the appearance, retractable type headlamps have been used as headlamps, that is, they are completely stored inside the front body when not in use, and only when in use they are attached to the top of the hood of the front body. Some have a structure that protrudes from the top. Such a retractable headlamp requires a movable part, a driving mechanism, etc., and therefore requires a larger storage space than a normal type headlamp.

However, the mounting position of the headlamp is almost fixed for functional and appearance reasons, and is usually placed at the front end of the front body, so the position of the headlamp support panel 5 is fixed in terms of layout. In addition, a radiator (not shown) is connected to the front cross member 3 and the atsupaba 4.
and left and right headlamp support panels 5, 5
Since the upper and lower parts of the front cross member 3 are disposed between the front cross member 3 and the front cross member 3, the mounting position of the front cross member 3 is also determined.

For this reason, especially when installing a retractable headlight on a regular type vehicle, the mounting position is restricted due to the layout, and it is difficult to support the retractable headlight with the flat headlamp support panel mentioned above. Yes, some kind of ingenuity is required, such as changing the shape. When changing the shape of the headlamp support, the shape and shape of the lamp mounting bracket that is fixed to the headlamp support panel and supports and fixes the lamp case that houses the side marker lamps, turn lamps, etc. It is also necessary to change the mounting structure, etc.
