A high beam headlamp module for a headlamp assembly includes a unitary high beam heat sink and mounting assembly including a planar high beam heat sink portion, having a first side and a second side, and a high beam mounting portion having alignment features formed therein for mounting the high beam headlamp module to the headlamp housing. Further, at least one high beam LED light source is supported by the first side of the high beam heat sink portion with an optical axis approximately perpendicular to the headlamp optical axis, wherein the second side of the high beam heat sink portion does not support an LED light source. A high beam reflector member is also included having a reflective portion adapted to redirect light from the at least one high beam LED light source towards the headlamp optical axis, wherein the high beam headlamp module is positioned adjacent to the low beam headlamp module in the headlamp housing.
