Finnish term or phrase: valoumpiot
"Tummat kookkaat puskurit linjakkaan pyöreän keulan kulmissa suojaavat käytännöllisesti myös pikkukolhuilta, ja pitkät lokasuojiin kaartuvat valoumpiot ovat ylhäällä hyvin suojassa pienemmiltä vaurioilta."

"Valoumpiot" is the plural form of "valoumpio". I think the basic, singular forms should be used here in KudoZ, as the Finnish endings can be misleading - and they cannot be found in dictionaries, anyway.

light / lamp assembly


Explanation:
"headlight assembly" is the most common term for ajovaloumpio in the automotive industry

e.g. Toyota Corolla manual:

If the installation area of the headlight assembly is damaged, use the supply bracket for low-cost repair.
Jos ajovaloumpion kiinnikkeet ovat vaurioituneet, asenna erilliset kannattimet korjauksen tekemiseksi edullisesti.

headlamp


Explanation:
The term "valoumpio" can simply be put as "headlamp". The "umpio" normally referes to the closed assembly as whole.
Here the "-umpiot" is the plural form, i.e., "headlamps".
