ABSTRACT:
A combined trim ring and support plate for a single or a pair or set of contiguous vehicle head, tail, or other lights comprises an ornamental plate having one or more cut-out areas defining apertures of sizes to expose therein one or more (sealed-beam) headlights or equivalent units. The margins of the plate overlap the margins of an aperture in a vehicle-body shell member (such as a fender or a truck front or rear panel) and is fastened to the shell member by self-tapping screws (or bolts) passing through aligned holes in the plate and the shell member. The plate margin preferably has a narrow rearwardly turned flange whose edge is embraced by a rubber-like cushioning and water-excluding channel ring. The plate and the light (or its jacket) are provided with co-operating elements interconnected by machine screws which serve to mount the light on the rear face of the plate and some of which are tool-engageable from the front of the plate through small holes to serve also for beam adjustment if the lights are headlights. A specially constructed pair of interconnected electrical adaptor plugs are provided for connecting a pair of up-down-beam headlights to eliminate the need to cut or splice conventional connectors now used with such conventional units.
