A plug-in lamp socket assembly is provided that maintains connections sealed to the environment between the electrical lamp leads, electrical socket contacts and circuits of the circuit carrier. The assembly has a lamp socket member for receiving a lamp in an aligned manner. A cap plate connects to the lamp socket member and is non-removable therefrom. The lamp socket has tabs that require proper alignment of the tabs for insertion into a circuit carrier having circuits molded therein. An O-ring seals the removable connection between the lamp socket, cap plate, assembly and the circuit carrier. The circuit carrier is sealed to the lens housing.
