ABSTRACT:
A lamp socket and panel assembly includes a socket panel opening having a plurality of equally spaced radially outwardly directed retention slots therein that receive a plurality of circumferentially spaced socket retention tabs on a lamp socket, each tab is an integrally formed circumferentially extending spring biased cantilevered beam with an end portion insertable through the retention slots and wherein the end portion includes a ramp surface thereon engageable with the socket panel to direct a resultant force onto the end of the spring biased cantilever beam to cause it to flex axially of the panel upon rotation of the socket into an interlocked position on the panel and wherein the flex produced by the cantilevered beams produces an audible indication of movement of the socket from an axially inserted position to a rotatably locked position on the panel.
