Abstract
A plastic lamp housing for attaching to a vehicle is provided with auxiliary mounting structure to allow reattachment to a vehicle, subsequent to minor breakage of a primary mounting structure provided integrally therewith. The lamp housing includes a housing body for supportively receiving at least one bulb therein and a projecting portion, integrally provided with the housing body, for use in connecting the lamp housing to a vehicle. The projecting portion extends outwardly from a surface of the housing body and may have a groove formed therein proximate the first surface of the housing body to provide a breakaway point. The housing body further includes fastener receiving structure provided on and an auxiliary mounting bracket which may be readily secured to the fastener receiving structure, for use in reattaching the housing body to the vehicle, without affecting the structural integrity, functionality or exterior appearance of the housing body.
