A vehicle is provided that includes a hood outer panel, hood inner panel, and engine compartment. A fender attachment bracket is disposed within the engine compartment, and a headlight assembly includes an attachment portion that couples the headlight assembly to the fender attachment bracket. The headlight assembly also includes a load block or loading block sized and shaped so that when the hood outer panel and hood inner panel are deformed by the impact of an object, the hood inner panel contacts the load block.
