The invention concerns a motor vehicle headlight with an ignition device (3) for generating an ignition voltage for operating a light (4). The headlight has a safety device 1 for protection from injuries caused by electricity, wherein the ignition device (3) comprises a housing (5) for receiving the light (4) and an ignition switch which can be connected to the light (4) and terminals (6, 7) for electric connection of the ignition switch and the vehicle electrical system. The housing (5) can be mounted to a base plate (2). To improve safety of maintenance or mounting of the headlight, in particular to prevent injuries through contact with exposed electrically conducting parts where high voltages could be present, the use of a safety device 1 is proposed which is disposed on the base plate 2 and comprises means for mounting the housing 5, wherein the ignition device 3 can be connected to the vehicle electrical system via the safety device 1 only when the housing 5 is mounted.
A motor vehicle headlight system for connecting an ignition device to a light, the system having a safety mechanism for protection against injuries caused by electricity and heat, the ignition device generating an ignition voltage and having an ignition switch for applying the ignition voltage to the light to operate the light, the ignition device also having terminals for electric connection of the ignition switch to a vehicle electrical system, the head light connection system comprising:
An ignition device system for a motor vehicle headlight the ignition device having a safety mechanism for protection against injuries caused by electricity and heat, the ignition device generating an ignition voltage to operate a light, the ignition device comprising:
