Abstract
A discharge lamp system, particularly for vehicular headlamp applications, broadly comprises a discharge lamp assembly and a lighting circuit assembly. The discharge lamp assembly comprises a discharge lamp unit, and a lamp carrier subassembly mechanically supporting the discharge lamp unit and electrically connected thereto. The lighting circuit assembly comprises an electric lighting circuit mounted within a housing or housings for causing the discharge lamp unit to glow by an electric discharge. The discharge lamp assembly and the lighting circuit assembly are directly interconnected both mechanically and electrically, in order to dispense with cables or cords that have been conventionally used for their electrical interconnection.
