Abstract
A light is provided and a method is provided for manufacturing a light, with a carrier element, an illuminating device disposed on the carrier element with a circuit board and an illuminant mounted on the circuit board, and an optic. The one of the optics and the carrier element comprises at least one positioning element, which passes through an opening in the circuit board and engages in a recess in the other of the optics and the carrier element.
Claims20
A light, in particular an exterior light for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a carrier element;
- an optics;
- and
- an illuminating device arranged between the carrier element and the optics with a circuit board and an illuminant attached the circuit board;
- and
- a positioning element that passes through an opening in the circuit board and engages in a recess.
A method for manufacturing an exterior light for a motor vehicle comprising:
- attaching an illuminant to a circuit board of an illuminating device;
- disposing the illuminating device on a carrier element;
- and
- positioning an optics in a predefined position relative to the illuminating device in that a positioning element passes through an opening in the circuit board and engages in a recess.
A kit for manufacturing an exterior light for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a circuit board;
- several different illuminants;
- several different optics;
- a carrier element for attaching a illuminating device formed of the circuit board and at least one of the several different illuminants;
- wherein at least one of the several different optics positionable in a predefined position relative to the illuminating device with the aid of a positioning element.
