ABSTRACT:
A bulb socket has a socket main body and a pair of bulb clamping pieces for holding a base of a bulb. The bulb clamping pieces have projection pieces formed by cutting out and raised up so that not only the base of the bulb is clamped by the bulb clamping pieces by resiliency, but also the edges of the clamping pieces bite into and catch leads raised and bent along the base. Alternatively, a first holding portion and a second holding portion are provided in each of clamping pieces to hold a base of the bulb by way of two-point support by the first and second holding portion of each of the clamping pieces. As a result, the bulb holding force is so increased as to reliably prevent the bulb from being detached from the bulb socket even if the bulb is located at a position susceptible to impact.
