ABSTRACT:
A snap-on connector is provided for readily mounting and dismounting a light bulb of the kind having a flange on its base, to and from a lamp housing in a vehicular headlamp assembly or similar lighting devices. The lamp housing has a mounting tube extending rearwardly therefrom and terminating in a bulb entrance end. Mounted on the bulb entrance end of the mounting tube in locking engagement therewith, the snap-on connector of substantially annular or tubular shape has a set of retainer lips extending radially inwardly from its end away from the lamp housing. Each retainer lip defines a space for receiving a lug on the flange of the light bulb between itself and the bulb entrance end of the mounting tube. The lugs can be slid into these spaces and locked in position by first inserting the light bulb in the bulb entrance end of the mounting tube via the snap-on connector and then by turning the light bulb in a prescribed direction relative to the mounting tube.
