To set light modules or other optical components in a headlight, in particular a motor vehicle headlight, a setting device (3) is configured for jointly adjusting the support frames (11, 21), in which the light modules or optical components are held, by pivoting in each case about at least one axis (a1, a2) relative to the housing of the headlight. The setting device (3) comprises a gearing, which is actuated by an actuator (31) and is connected to the support frames (11, 21) by respective articulated couplings. In a multishell-concentric ball-and-socket joint (30), a connection element (34) of the actuator (31) and connection elements (14, 24) of the support frame (11, 21) are concentrically coupled. The connection element (14) of the first support frame (11) is rigidly connected to the first support frame (11), while for the other support frame(s) (21) the associated connection element (24) is connected directly or by way of the gearing to the articulated coupling (29) of the support frame.
