Since the locking part is arranged on the vehicle body side panel surface at the back of the bumper, the locking part and the locking projection on the lower part of the lamp are hidden behind the bumper and the lamp itself and are difficult to see.

Therefore, the workability of mounting the lamp is extremely poor.

Particularly, in order to improve the appearance around the front of the vehicle body, when the headlamp and the front combination lamp are integrated, it is structurally difficult to attach this integrated lamp to the vehicle body side panel at its side part. , The integral lamp has to be attached to the vehicle body side panel on the lower side and the upper side, for example. In that case,
The above-described poor workability in lamp mounting is an unavoidable problem.

The present invention was made by paying attention to such points,
The purpose of this is to facilitate the work of mounting the lower side of the lamp with the bumper still mounted.

(Means for Solving the Problem) In order to achieve the above object, in the present invention, first, a lamp is simply temporarily fixed by using an engaging member at the tip of a bracket fixed to a vehicle body side panel, and then the lamp is fixed. Is fixed by sliding it toward the vehicle body side panel.

A member having an engaging hole that is opened, and after being temporarily fixed by being locked to the tip of the bracket engaging portion, the bracket engaging portion is slid toward the vehicle body side panel and locked in the middle portion of the bracket. And a combination member.

(Operation) According to the present invention, according to the above structure, first, the engaging member is first locked and temporarily fixed to the end of the engaging portion of the bracket, and the engaging projection of the lower surface of the lamp is fitted into the engaging hole of the engaging member. Insert from above and lock. Then, when the lamp is pushed toward the vehicle body side panel, the engaging member slides the bracket engaging portion toward the vehicle body side panel and is locked in the middle portion of the bracket, so that the lower side of the lamp is fixed.

In that case, since the bracket is fixed to the vehicle body side panel, the engaging portion is located immediately above the bumper. Therefore, the visibility of the engaging hole of the engaging member temporarily fixed to the bracket is good, and the engaging work of the engaging projection on the lower surface of the lamp with the engaging hole can be easily performed with the bumper attached.
Further, in order to insert the locking protrusion on the lower surface of the lamp into the engaging hole of the engaging member, the lamp is moved downward from above the engaging member toward the engaging hole, so that the bumper interferes with the work. Moreover, there is no risk of interference with the bumper when moving. Further, even when the lamp is pushed toward the vehicle body side panel and the engaging member is slid toward the vehicle body side panel, the lamp does not move in the vertical direction, so there is no fear of interference with the bumper.

As a result, the lower side of the lamp can be mounted with the bumper attached, without the bumper obstructing the mounting work.
