Abstract

A center high mount stoplamp is characterized by a linear array of light emitting diodes on a light carrier. A corresponding plurality of lens optics are carried on a lens carrier. A desired distance between the light emitting diodes and the lens optics is established by extensions from the lens carrier having opposing surfaces which interface with back and front sides of the light carrier.
