[0002] Arrangement for aligning a first motor vehicle light and a second motor vehicle light, motor vehicle, alignment procedure

[0003] The invention relates to an arrangement for aligning a first motor vehicle light and a second motor vehicle light relative to a body element of a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, a motor vehicle with such an arrangement and an alignment method.

[0004] Motor vehicles, especially commercial vehicles, have a headlight to illuminate the area in front of the vehicle and a turn signal to indicate a change of direction. The headlight and turn signal may be housed in two separate units rather than a single unit. This allows for the use of identical headlights across different vehicle models, reducing costs, while different turn signals can be used to differentiate between models. Mounting the two headlight housings requires precise and complex alignment relative to the vehicle's bumper, as well as relative to each other, to ensure uniform gaps around and between the two housings.Different alignment devices are used for different headlights, each designed for specific headlight types. These devices have mounting brackets that must be manually adjusted to the individual headlight. Using these devices, the two headlight housings are aligned individually and manually, which is time-consuming and costly. Furthermore, manual alignment is relatively prone to errors. Imprecisely mounted vehicle lights, especially those not in a predetermined mounting position, result in an unsightly appearance and can negatively affect the light distribution of the headlight and / or the signal light.

[0005] The invention is therefore based on the objective of creating an arrangement for aligning a first motor vehicle light and a second motor vehicle light relative to a body element of a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, a motor vehicle with Daimler Truck AG 2 Michael Lierheimer 02.02.2026 such an arrangement and an alignment method, wherein the aforementioned disadvantages are reduced, preferably do not occur.

[0006] The problem is solved by providing the present technical teaching, in particular the teaching of the independent claims as well as the preferred embodiments disclosed in the dependent claims and the description.

[0007] The problem is solved, in particular, by providing an arrangement for aligning a first vehicle light and a second vehicle light relative to a body element of a motor vehicle, especially a commercial vehicle. The arrangement comprises the body element, the first vehicle light, and the second vehicle light. The body element has a first element side, a second element side opposite the first element side (in particular along a body element thickness of the body element), and a first alignment recess extending through the body element and connecting the first and second element sides for aligning the first vehicle light. The first vehicle light comprises a first housing base and a first alignment element. The first housing base is arranged on the first element side.The first alignment element projects through the first alignment recess to the second side of the element. In particular, the first alignment element extends beyond the body element. The first alignment element and the first alignment recess are designed and work together to predetermine the alignment of the first vehicle light relative to the body element. The second vehicle light has a second housing base and a second alignment recess. The first alignment element engages in the second alignment recess. The first alignment element and the second alignment recess are designed and work together to predetermine the alignment of the second vehicle light relative to the first vehicle light and, in particular, relative to the body element.

[0008] The first vehicle light is advantageously aligned with particular precision and in a predetermined position on the body panel. Similarly, the second vehicle light is also aligned with particular precision and in a predetermined position relative to the first vehicle light, and thus indirectly to the body panel.

[0009] In particular, the second vehicle light no longer needs to be manually aligned relative to the first vehicle light. This advantageously creates a uniformly wide gap between the vehicle lights and the body panel, as well as between the vehicle lights themselves, which improves the aesthetic appearance of the vehicle, especially the front of the vehicle, and ensures a uniform and harmonious integration of the vehicle lights into the body panel, particularly when this panel is designed as a bumper. The arrangement advantageously eliminates the need for a separate alignment device, as alignment is achieved by means of the vehicle lights and the body panel itself.Furthermore, manual adjustment of the alignment device is no longer necessary, as it is no longer required, thus reducing, and preferably preventing, the occurrence of incorrect installation. At the same time, the installation of the two vehicle lights is simplified, since complex alignment is no longer required.

[0010] In particular, the first element side is an area that adjoins the body element on a first side. In particular, the second element side is an area that adjoins the body element on a second side. In particular, the body element is arranged sectionally between—and especially locally between—the first element side and the second element side.In this context, "section by section" is to be understood in particular as meaning that the body element is not arranged between the first element side and the second element side in certain areas, in particular in an area of ​​the first alignment recess and in particular in an area of ​​a receiving recess of the body element, wherein in particular an imaginary connecting line, which connects two points of the body element adjacent to the first alignment recess or to the receiving recess and opposite the respective recess, is arranged between - in particular locally between - the first element side and the second element side.

[0011] In one embodiment, an element selected from the body element, the first vehicle light and the second vehicle light comprises or is made of a plastic.

[0012] In one embodiment, at least one first light source is arranged in the first housing body. In particular, at least one second light source is arranged in the second housing body. In one embodiment, a motor vehicle light, selected from the first motor vehicle light and the second motor vehicle light, has a transparent aperture that is designed and configured to transmit light emissions from a light source selected from the at least one first light source and the at least one second light source. In particular, the transparent aperture is designed as a design aperture. In particular, the transparent aperture is attached to the respective housing body, selected from the first housing body and the second housing body.

[0013] In one embodiment, the first housing body has a first stop. In particular, the body element has a first counter-stop. Specifically, the first stop and the first counter-stop are designed and interact to limit the initial insertion depth when the first alignment element is inserted into the first alignment recess. Specifically, when the first alignment element is inserted into the first alignment recess as intended, the first stop abuts the first counter-stop, thus blocking further insertion of the first alignment element into the first alignment recess.

[0014] In one embodiment, the second housing base body has a second stop. In particular, the body element and / or the first housing base body has a second counter-stop. Specifically, the second stop and the second counter-stop are designed and interact to limit a second insertion depth when the first alignment element is inserted into the second alignment recess. Specifically, when the first alignment element is inserted into the second alignment recess as intended, the second stop abuts the second counter-stop, thus blocking further insertion of the first alignment element into the second alignment recess.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first alignment element and the first alignment recess form a first positive fit. In particular, the first alignment element and the second alignment recess form a second positive fit.

[0016] In one embodiment, the body element has two first alignment recesses. In particular, the first vehicle light has two first alignment elements.

[0017] In particular, the second vehicle light has two secondary alignment recesses. Specifically, a first alignment element of the two first alignment elements and a first alignment recess of the two first alignment recesses are formed and interact to predetermine the alignment of the first vehicle light relative to the body element. Advantageously, the first vehicle light is thus aligned at two points on the body element and therefore particularly precisely. Specifically, a first alignment element of the two first alignment elements and a second alignment recess of the two second alignment recesses are formed and interact to predetermine the alignment of the second vehicle light relative to the first vehicle light and, in particular, to the body element. Advantageously, the second vehicle light... Daimler Truck AG 5 Michael Lierheimer 02.02.2026 thus at two points on the first vehicle light, and in particular thus indirectly on the body element, and thus aligned with particular precision.

[0018] According to a further development of the invention, the first alignment element projects from the first housing base. Alternatively or additionally, the second vehicle light has a second alignment element projecting from the second housing base, wherein the second alignment element has the second alignment recess. Advantageously, this enables particularly precise alignment, whereby at least one alignment point – at which the first alignment element interacts with the first alignment recess and / or the second alignment recess – is concealed, in particular located behind one of the two vehicle lights, so that the at least one alignment point is hidden from a person standing in front of a vehicle equipped with the arrangement.

[0019] In one embodiment, the first alignment element projects rearward from the first housing body when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel. In particular, the second alignment element projects upward or downward from the second housing body when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel.

[0020] According to a further development of the invention, the body element defines a first receiving space for a motor vehicle light, selected from the first motor vehicle light and the second motor vehicle light, at least section by section, wherein the selected motor vehicle light is arranged in the first receiving space. Advantageously, the selected motor vehicle light is optically integrated into the body element, so that, in particular, an aesthetic appearance is achieved.

[0021] In one embodiment, the body element limits the first receiving space at least on two sides, in particular on a rear side (when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel as intended) and an upper side, and optionally on a left side and a right side. In another embodiment, the body element limits the first receiving space on a rear side (when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel as intended) and a lower side, and optionally on the left side and the right side.

[0022] Alternatively or additionally, the body element has a receiving recess connecting the first and second sides of the element. This receiving recess forms, section by section, a second receiving space for a different vehicle light, selected from the first and second vehicle lights. The other selected vehicle light is located in this second receiving space. The first and second receiving spaces adjoin each other section by section. Advantageously, the other selected vehicle light is also visually integrated into the body element, resulting in a particularly aesthetically pleasing appearance.

[0023] In one embodiment, the body element limits the receiving recess, in particular the second receiving space, at least on two sides of the receiving recess, in particular the second receiving space, in particular on an upper side and a lower side when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel as intended, and in particular optionally on a left side and a right side.

[0024] In one embodiment, the body element has a recessed section that is set back from the first element side towards the second element side, in particular such that the body element has a step, the step forming the first receiving space. In another embodiment – ​​where the body element limits the first receiving space at the rear and top – the first receiving space – when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel – is open forward and downward, and the body element – ​​when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel – limits the second receiving space below the first receiving space.In another embodiment - where the body element limits the first receiving space on the rear and lower sides - the first receiving space - when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel - is open towards the front and upwards, with the body element - when the arrangement is installed in a motor vehicle in the direction of travel - limiting the second receiving space above the first receiving space.

[0025] According to a further development of the invention, the first alignment element and the first alignment recess are designed and interact to attach the first vehicle light to the body element. Alternatively or additionally, the first alignment element and the second alignment recess are designed and interact to attach the second vehicle light to the first vehicle light. Advantageously, this eliminates the need for additional fastening elements. Daimler Truck AG 7 Michael Lierheimer 02.02.2026

[0026] In one embodiment, the first alignment element and the first alignment recess are designed and interact to attach the first vehicle light to the body element by friction and / or positive locking, in particular by means of snap-fit ​​elements. Alternatively or additionally, the first alignment element and the second alignment recess are designed and interact to attach the second vehicle light to the first vehicle light by friction and / or positive locking, in particular by means of snap-fit ​​elements.

[0027] In particular, the second vehicle light is indirectly attached to the body element, especially by means of the first vehicle light.

[0028] According to a further development of the invention, a motor vehicle light, selected from the first motor vehicle light and the second motor vehicle light, is configured as a front light, in particular as a headlight. Alternatively or additionally, a different motor vehicle light, selected from the second motor vehicle light and the first motor vehicle light, is configured as a signal light, in particular as a direction indicator. The advantages already mentioned above are also advantageously realized in this embodiment.

[0029] According to a further development of the invention, the body element is designed as a bumper for a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle. This provides a particularly simple way to align and optionally attach the two vehicle lights.

[0030] The problem is also solved by creating a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, with an arrangement according to the invention or an arrangement according to one or more of the embodiments described above. In connection with the motor vehicle, the advantages that arise are particularly those already explained in connection with the arrangement.

[0031] The problem is also solved by providing an alignment method for aligning a first motor vehicle light and a second motor vehicle light relative to a body element of a motor vehicle, in particular a commercial vehicle, wherein the body element has a first element side, a second element side opposite the first element side, in particular along a body element thickness of the body element, and a first alignment recess extending through the body element and connecting the first element side and the second element side for aligning the first motor vehicle light, wherein the first motor vehicle light has a first housing base body and a first alignment element, wherein the second motor vehicle light has a second housing base body and a second alignment recess, wherein the alignment method comprises the following steps:

[0032] - Arranging the first housing base body on the first element side and passing the first alignment element from the first element side through the first alignment recess to the second element side;

[0033] - Arrange the second housing base body on the second element side and insert the first alignment element into the second alignment recess.

[0034] The alignment method offers the advantage of simplifying the alignment of the two vehicle lights relative to the body element.

[0035] In one embodiment – ​​particularly before the alignment procedure is carried out – the first alignment element is inserted into the second alignment recess. Specifically, the first and second vehicle lights are pre-assembled as a vehicle lighting module. Advantageously, the vehicle lighting module can be transported to an installation location with particular ease. As a first step in the alignment procedure, the vehicle lighting module is disassembled, specifically the second vehicle light is detached from the first vehicle light, by removing the first alignment element from the second alignment recess, specifically by leading it out or pulling it out. Subsequently, the alignment procedure according to the invention or an alignment procedure according to one or more of the embodiments described above or below is carried out.

[0036] In one embodiment, a separate alignment device for aligning the two vehicle lights is omitted. In particular, alignment is achieved using the two vehicle lights and the body element itself.

[0037] According to a further development of the invention, the first alignment element is guided from the first side of the element through the first alignment recess to the second side of the element in such a way that the first alignment element and the first alignment recess secure the first vehicle light to the body element. Alternatively or additionally, the first alignment element is inserted into the second alignment recess in such a way that the first alignment element and the second alignment recess secure the second vehicle light to the first vehicle light. This advantageously simplifies the mounting of the two vehicle lights to the body element. Daimler Truck AG 9 Michael Lierheimer 02.02.2026
