Abstract
An accent lamp () having a solid state light source (), such as LEDs, is attachable to a rear surface of an automotive headlamp () opposite the light-generating capsule (). Accent lamp () has first retaining member (), such as a clamp, formed above printed circuit board () on which LED () is mounted. Headlamp base () defines light passageway (), formed as a light guide (), extending from outermost peripheral surface () to an upper surface () on which lamp capsule () is retained. Accent lamp () is readily detachably mounted to headlamp (), preferably by resilient first and second retaining members (), and, when mounted, can be biased to promote optical coupling of light source () to light guide ().
