Abstract
An integrated lamp and fascia system for a vehicle comprises a lamp having a lamp housing. A vehicle fascia includes a fascia pocket defined by two side walls, a bottom wall, and a rear wall, in which the lamp housing is disposed. The rear wall has a fixed portion, a flanged portion, and a cross car hinge seam about which the flanged portion flexes. The lamp housing is mounted to the flanged portion. An adjustment means includes an adjustment clip mounted to the fixed portion of the rear wall to provide a vertical extension thereto, and an adjustment screw accessible from a forward surface of the lamp housing and extending through an upper region of the lamp housing and through the adjustment clip. Turning the screw either moves the upper region of the lamp housing closer to or further from the pocket rear wall by rotating the lamp housing about the hinge seam to adjust vertical aim of the lamp.
