Abstract

A vehicle light is provided with a housing which partially delimits an interior and has an open side. A light source assembly is positioned inside the housing. An at least partially transparent outer lens is positioned on the open side of the housing. The outer lens is attached to the housing with a snap-fit assembly and a seal assembly to obtain a fluid-tight seal. The seal assembly contains a seal placed in a circumferential groove on the housing. The snap-fit assembly has a snap-fit component on the outer lens, which engages in the groove and is snapped onto the housing inside the groove. When fully assembled, the snap-fit component bears on the seal and the outer lens is releasably attached to the housing.
