A headlamp assembly of a vehicle with a headlamp fastening device, comprising:
- a transparent headlamp cover on a front side;
- a headlamp housing, which is closed on the front side by the headlamp cover and configured to mechanically connect with the vehicle body via the headlamp fastening device;
- wherein the headlamp fastening device has a guide rail on which the headlamp assembly is arranged so as to be pivotable contrary to the direction of travel and so as to be able to be withdrawn in the direction of travel, wherein the guide rail has two support elements spaced apart from one another on which the headlamp assembly is mounted so as to be pivotable and/or so as to be able to be withdrawn, and wherein the support elements have mounting structures for the mounting of spherical pivot elements on the base of the headlamp housing, and
- wherein the headlamp housing is pivotably mounted to the guide rail, and
- wherein the guide rail has a mounting slot for a front bumper in the region of the headlamp assembly, wherein the mounting slot defines a joint width between the headlamp assembly and the front bumper.
