An opening (3) in a reflector (2) of a vehicle headlight serves to receive a lamp (1). The lamp can be seated against a surface with three support points (4) facing a direction opposite to a mounting direction. The support points are at apexes of a triangle (30) surrounding a lamp axis (7). One of these support points corresponds to a positioning tab (8) extending radially outwardly from a lamp socket (5) which can be seated in a recess (9). A spring holding element (10) applies a force on the socket of the lamp between the positioning tab and the lamp axis in a mounting direction of the lamp as well as toward a fixing element (11).

Apparatus for arranging a lamp on a reflector of a vehicle headlight, said apparatus comprising a carrier, a lamp socket, and a spring holding element, said carrier defining an opening (3) for receiving the lamp, said carrier having a surface (4) facing an opposite direction than a mounting direction of the lamp, with three support areas (6) being between the surface and the lamp socket (5) which lie at angles of a triangle (30) surrounding a lamp axis (7) extending in an operational direction of the lamp and of which one of said support areas (6) is arranged to correspond to a positioning tab (8) extending radially outwardly from the lamp socket (5), the positioning tab (8) being seatable in a recess (9) formed in the carrier, said spring holding element (10) mounted on said carrier to act on said lamp socket for urging said lamp socket radially, relative to the lamp axis (7), toward a fixing element (11) on said carrier at a side of the lamp socket (5) diametrically opposite the positioning tab (8): wherein the spring holding element (10) applies a spring force on the lamp socket of the lamp at a position between the one support area (6), corresponding to the positioning tab (8), and the lamp axis (7) which spring force has a first spring force component (12) acting in a mounting direction of the lamp (1) and a second spring force component (13) acting toward the fixing element (11); wherein the spring holding element (10) is formed as an elongated member extending across the lamp socket (5); and wherein said carrier has respective counter support bearings (15, 16) for supporting opposite ends of said spring holding element to cause said first and second spring force components (12, 13).
