Abstract
A headlamp assembly typically includes a high beam reflector and a low beam reflector. A linkage synchronizes the aim of a high beam reflector with a low beam reflector while also providing damping for both reflectors to stop them from visibly shaking or fluttering the light beam under vibration in actual use. The damping linkage could also be employed in a single reflector environment.
