Abstract

In a light housing (1) for the installation into a mounting opening (2), in particular for a light in a motor vehicle, with an angle bracket (9), which is slidable onto a wall section (16) of the mounting opening (2) with the holding receptacle (10), the light disk (5) is insertable into the remaining opening with the angle bracket being slid on, where the inserted light disk (5) grips around the angle bracket (9) and also grips around a wall section (26) of the mounting opening (2) approximately on the opposite side. Only two installation steps are necessary for mounting the light housing (1) i.e., sliding of the holding receptacle (9) onto the wall section (16) and inserting the light disk (5).
