ABSTRACT:
A lamp assembly capable of functioning both as fog lamp and cornering lamp on a motor vehicle, comprising a fixed reflector within a housing, a movable reflector positioned forwardly of the fixed reflector, and a light bulb mounted to the fixed reflector via a bulb holder, with the bulb holder extending forwardly from the fixed reflector through an aperture in the movable reflector. The fixed reflector reflects the light rays from the bulb in the forward direction of the lamp assembly. Less in size then the fixed reflector, the movable reflector pivots about a vertical axis between a first position, where it coacts with the fixed reflector to reflect the light rays forwardly in the use of the lamp assembly as fog lamp, and a second position where the movable reflector deflects part of the light rays toward one side of the lamp assembly to enable the same to serve as cornering lamp. The bulb holder has a constricted neck for receiving part of the movable reflector as the latter pivots from the fog lamp position to the cornering lamp position, so that the horizontal dimension of the aperture in the movable reflector can be reduced to a minimum without interfering with the pivotal motion of the movable reflector.
