Beim erneuten Abnehmen des Steckers 22 wird daher die Lampe gleich zusammen mit dem Stecker 22 aus dem Reflektor 20 entfernt.For assembly, the lamp is inserted from the rear into the assembly opening 21 of the reflector 20 introduced. The second V-leg 5b, 6b in the area of the mounting opening 21, clamping on the edge of the reflector wall 20a. The second locking lugs 5d, 6d snap behind on the inside the reflector wall 20a. The bearing surface 3c of the lamp base 3 is located thereby on the outside of the reflector wall 20a and thus serves as a depth stop for the lamp. To connect the connector 22, the ends 28b, 29b of the fastening clips 28, 29 compressed. Thereby the ends 28a, 29a of the fastening clamps, which are designed as grippers 28, 29 are attached behind the flange 20b of the reflector 20. there the sealing ring 27 of the plug 22 sits on the flange 20b and seals the mounting opening 21 of the reflector 20. In addition, the cone-like grips Projection 25 of the plug 22 in the receptacle 7 of the lamp base 3, which creates an electrical contact between the plug contacts 24a, 24b and the base contacts 3a, 3b is produced. Push at the same time but also the two unlocking pins 26a, 26b of the plug 22 between the second V-leg 5b, 6b and the reflector wall 20a in the Assembly opening 21 and thereby release the snap connection of the second Lugs 5d, 6d with the reflector wall 20a, so that the lamp when connected Connector 22 is only attached to connector 22. When again Removing the plug 22 is therefore the lamp together with the Connector 22 removed from the reflector 20.
