Abstract
An illumination device for a vehicle includes a reflector having a rear-side lamp opening and a protective collar formed around the lamp opening. The protective collar has an inner diameter and has a cut-out of a peripheral segment. A lamp has a lamp axis and is configured to be received in the lamp opening by an introduction movement in a direction of the lamp axis and a rotary movement about the lamp axis. The rotary movement of the lamp about the lamp axis defines a rotational space of the lamp. An electrical contact plug element is configured to connect to the lamp. The inner diameter is slightly larger than the rotational space defined by the lamp. The cut-out of the protective collar is configured to receive the plug element such that the plug element is disposed through the cutout peripheral segment when connected to the lamp.
