Abstract

A combination side marker, clearance and reflex lamp for a vehicle. The lamp includes a base which is adapted to be connected to a vehicle. The base is provided with a recess, and a lens in combination with the base define a bulb chamber that houses a light bulb. The base portion of the bulb extends through an opening in the base and into the recess. A pair of electrical conductors are mounted on the base and extend into the recess and are connected to the base portion of the bulb. A resin is potted in the recess to encapsulate the conductors and the base portion of the bulb. The bulb chamber is hermetically sealed to prevent contact of moisture or water with the bulb.
