ABSTRACT:
A lamp assembly for a vehicle is integrally formed in a vehicle panel which includes a concave recess for receiving a lamp socket and lamp. A plurality of lens receiving slots extend around the periphery of the concave recess for snap-fitting a lens to the panel. In a preferred embodiment, the concave recess is offset by a peripheral convex rim to position the lens toward the vehicle interior. In a preferred embodiment also, the panel is a vehicle headliner and the concave recess includes an aperture for receiving a spring clip which mounts a lamp socket to the headliner within the concave recess.
