Abstract
A lamp assembly for illuminating an exterior portion of a vehicle includes a lamp housing, and a switch supported by the lamp housing. The lamp assembly includes a flexible lens that is supported by the lamp housing and flexes to move relative to the lamp housing between an undepressed position and a depressed position when a force is applied to the lens. The lens is configured to cause the switch to move from a first position to a second position when the lens moves to the depressed position.
