Abstract
A lamp base having an vibration adjustable support structure is disclosed. By supporting a bulb on a plastic clip having arms with fixed lengths, the rotational and axial location of the lamp may be fixed within a standard optical structure, such as reflector housing and lens system. The arms may then be oriented either radially, angularly, or as to thickness or width to control vibration transmission particular to a typical use. For example, standard bulbs, bases and reflector housings may be used with bulb holders variably tuned to accommodate the vibrations specific to particular vehicle models.
