ABSTRACT:
A lampholder, for mounting a lamp in an opening of a reflector in a headlight for an automotive vehicle, includes a ring having structure for mounting the ring in the reflector opening and locating elements for locating the lamp in the ring in a position which is predetermined both axially of the lamp and rotationally around the lamp axis. The lamp holder also has structure whereby the lamp can be secured removably in this position. This securing structure includes a radially extending tongue and a locking finger diametrically opposite the tongue, both being formed integrally with the lampholder ring. The tongue is hinged on the ring and has a longitudinal profile such that, when it is swung about its hinge so as to overlie a diameter of the ring, it covers a part of the lamp and is held in position by the locking finger. In this position the tongue is resiliently deformed so as to exert a spring biassing force on the lamp and thus to hold the latter firmly in position.
