Abstract
A vehicle lamp assembly comprising a lamp housing, a light source, a lens, and a bezel. The light source is attached to and supported by the lamp housing and the lens is spaced from the light source. The lens is attached to and supported by the bezel. The lamp housing, lens, and/or bezel include a wall with one or more perforated areas that are defined by a micro mesh of holes. Each hole in the micro mesh has a cross-sectional area that is less than 0.3 square millimeters. The micro mesh of holes provides airflow through the vehicle lamp assembly to reduce or eliminate the build-up of condensation inside the vehicle lamp assembly. The micro mesh of holes may be backlit or arranged in a pattern to enhance aesthetics or create a logo on the vehicle lamp assembly.
