ABSTRACT:
In a vehicular lamp, a front lens is mechanically fastened to a lamp body by a fastening device formed astride the boundary between the seal groove-defining wall and the front lens during insertion of a seal leg portion of the front lens into a seal groove with a sealant provided therein. The fastening device includes stopping protrusions provided on the seal groove-defining wall of the lamp body and tongue-shaped elastic pieces that are provided on the seal leg portion and have openings. As the seal leg portion is inserted into the seal groove to mount the front lens to the lamp body, the tongue-shaped elastic pieces are pressed against the stopping protrusions and thereby elastically deformed outward. The stopping protrusions thereby smoothly engage with the openings so that the seal leg portion will not fall apart from the seal groove, without requiring a plate spring.
