An assembly for a lighting and/or signalling device of an automotive vehicle, said lighting and/or signalling device having a vehicle headlamp, said assembly comprising:
- a bracket or support, said bracket or support being made of a plastic material and comprising a housing;
- and
- a stepping motor mounted in said bracket or support housing;
- at least one of said housing or said stepping motor comprising at least one fastener for fixing said stepping motor in said housing without the aid of screws;
- said assembly being mounted in the lighting and/or signalling device;
- said stepping motor being energized to cause said lighting and/or signalling device to switch between a beam of a first type and a beam of a second type.
An assembly for a lighting and/or signalling device of an automotive vehicle, said lighting and/or signalling device having a vehicle headlamp, said assembly comprising:
- a bracket or support comprising a housing;
- and
- a stepping motor mounted in said bracket or support housing in the lighting and/or signalling device;
- wherein said motor comprises at least one clamp that engages said bracket or support housing and arranged so as to be able to bite into said bracket or support housing to retain said motor in said bracket or support housing;
- said assembly being mounted in the lighting and/or signalling device;
- said stepping motor being energized to cause said lighting and/or signalling device to switch between a beam of a first type and a beam of a second type.
An assembly for a lighting and/or signalling device of an automotive vehicle, said lighting and/or signalling device having a vehicle headlamp, said assembly comprising:
- a bracket or support comprising a housing;
