Method for assembling a headlamp light module under limited assembling space conditions, headlamp light module, and assembly

Abstract

A light module assembly (10) for an automotive headlamp and a method of assembling the light module assembly (10) are disclosed. The light module assembly includes a reflector (12), a light module (14), a resilient element (16, 16′), and a fastener (18). The reflector (12) includes an upper surface (28), a rear surface (26), and a first protrusion (30) extending away from the rear surface (26 ). The light module (14) is positioned adjacent the reflector (12), such that a lower surface of the light module (14) abuts the upper surface (28) of the reflector (12). The light module includes a body (40) and an aperture (46) extending through the body (40). The resilient element (16, 16′) abuts the first protrusion (30 ) of the reflector (12) and extends through the aperture (46) of the light module (14). The resilient element (16, 16′) includes a fastener aperture (54, 54′) extending through the resilient element (16, 16′). The fastener (18) extends through the fastener aperture (54, 54′) of the resilient element and is coupled to the first protrusion (30) of the reflector (12).
