Abstract
A device is provided for compensating for thermal expansion in a headlamp, such as for a vehicle. A compensator is configured to expand or contract in an expansion direction (A), depending on the temperature. A tappet is functionally connected to the compensator that moves in a compensation direction (K) when the compensator expands or contracts along the expansion direction (A). A lever rotationally and/or pivotally connects the compensator to the tappet to obtain the functional connection.
