ABSTRACT:
A lamp assembly, particularly a rear lamp assembly for a motor vehicle has an electrically insulating hollow body, a plurality of bulbholders, and a plurlity of spaced, electrically conductive elements, cut from an electrically conductive sheet, extending between a location in the body at which an electrical supply connector is attached to the assembly in use and respective locations in the body adjacent the bulbholders. At least one bulb contact blade extends into each bulbholder and each bulb contact blade has a substantially U-shaped blade portion which is disposed externally of the bulbholder. Electrically conductive blades are integral with at least some of the electrically conductive elements. Each blade is in facial contact with internal faces of the respective substantially U-shaped blade portion. Each U-shaped blade portion is preferably an interference fit in a respective support integral with a base of the body.
The facial contact between each blade and its respective U-shaped blade portion ensures a good electrical contact therebetween.
