Abstract
A lamp assembly provides an integrated flexure member/bezel extending between a lamp lens and a housing for the lamp reflector. The flexure member has forward and rearward peripheral edges shaped to conform to the mating shapes of the lens and housing, respectively, for holding the elements together. The flexural member has internal surfaces which extend rearwardly toward the reflector surrounding the edges of the reflector such that no gaps are visually present and which can be metalized such that the overall lamp assembly has a shiny appearance.
