Abstract
A sealing cap for watertightly closing an access opening in the lamp housing of an aimable vehicle headlamp having a bulb tiltably mounted therein. The sealing cap comprises a relatively rigid framing part and a relatively pliant cap part closely interengaged into an essentially single unit. The framing part has a core of annular shape, and a plurality of hooks formed in one piece with the core and coacting therewith to engage the edge of the lamp housing bounding the access opening. The cap part is generally disklike in shape, comprising an outer sheath of annular shape enveloping the core of the framing part, a central bulb holder of tubular shape to be sleeved upon the base of the bulb, and an intermediate flexible connective portion of annular shape joining the sheath and the bulb holder.
