Abstract
A lamp unit (10) for being removably positioned within the rear opening (11) of an automobile headlight reflector (13). The unit (10) includes a plastic holder (19), an electric (e.g., tungsten halogen) lamp (30) having a filament structure (42) contained within the envelope (33) thereof, a clamp member (46) secured to the lamp's press-sealed end portion (47), and an insert member (48) located within a cavity (21) of the holder (19). The clamp member (46) includes a pair of curved flange portions (56,58) which engage and are secured (e.g., welded) to the outer, curved surface (59) of the insert member (48), thus facilitating alignment and positioning of the lamp (30) relative to the holder (19).
