Abstract
A lamp for a vehicle includes brackets designed to break in response to a force, or load, to the lamp. Based in part on the breaking of the brackets, the lamp may move relative to the vehicle. As a result, when a pedestrian provides the force, the impact by the lamp to the pedestrian is reduced, thus decreasing the likelihood of injury to the pedestrians. A lamp may further include one or more clips that secure to a front end module of the vehicle. In the event of impact to the lamp, the clip(s) promote movement of the lamp relative to the vehicle. A lamp may further include a damper designed to absorb energy from the force to the lamp.
