ABSTRACT:
A vehicle light assembly is comprised of a housing, a locking ring mechanism, a socket holding plate, a lens, and an attachment cover. The housing has at least three spaced apart bosses which extend inwardly and located adjacent to a front rim. The retaining ring adapter has an inner ring and an outer ring which is slightly larger than the inner ring. The inner ring has at least three spaced apart locking slots which are aligned with and rotatably engaged with the three bosses of the housing. The outer ring abuts against the front rim outside of the housing, where screws are provided to pull the inner ring against the outer rim so that the locking slots are further engaged with the bosses to further secure the inner ring thereto. The socket holding plate is installed on top of the outer ring of the retaining ring adapter for retaining a socket wherein a light bulb is installed thereto. The lens is placed over the light bulb and secured to the socket holding plate by the attachment cover.
