The housing generally includes a flange member coupled to a body member mountable on a surface of the body panel, and a trim member coupled to the flange member by a hinge. The trim member is movable relative to the flange member between a first position where the trim member is disposed away from a surface of body panel and a second position where the trim member is disposed toward the surface of the body panel, whereby the trim member is biased toward one of the first and second positions. The housing may be installed on the body panel with the trim member positioned away therefrom prior to applying paint thereto, whereafter the trim member is positioned toward the body panel.
