Abstract
A front running light assembly that is to be mounted to a front fender of a motorcycle, and including a housing having an open bottom portion leading to a cavity and a top portion having an opening. A translucent lens is positioned within the cavity and at least partially covers the opening. The lens is directly secured to the housing such that the lens maintains engagement with the housing when the housing is detached from a motorcycle front fender. The assembly further includes a base and a bulb mount for supporting a light bulb and secured to the base. The base is integrally formed with the lens, such as by molded the two parts from plastic. A resilient pad contacts the bottom portion of the housing and includes a wire opening for allowing electrical wires to pass through the pad and a bulb access opening for providing access to a light bulb supported by the bulb mount. Preferably, the pad is adhesively secured to the bottom portion of the housing. The pad includes a base and a lip extending from the base toward the housing to substantially surround the bottom portion of the housing.
