Abstract

The front lens (2) is secured to the front of the headlamp housing by a flange with locates in a channel around the front edge of the headlamp housing and is secured by a sealing compound. Spring tags (3) fitted to the edge of the housing grip between sloping tags (7) on the mating flanges of the lens and housing and secure the fitting. The tags are sloped in two directions as are the edges of the retaining tags. The overall height of each tag is minimised. Sloping side tags (6) on the clip provide the lateral grip behind the fixed tags for a secure fitting.
