Abstract

A vehicle lamp includes a lamp housing which can be introduced into a bodywork opening until an abutment provided thereon comes to bear against a part of the vehicle. A sealing means in the installed condition sealingly closes the bodywork opening. At least one latching means engages behind the edge of the bodywork opening to prevent the vehicle lamp from moving out of the bodywork opening. To reduce the tolerance requirements the lamp housing comprises first and second housing portions of which the first has the abutment and the latching means and the second has the sealing means. The housing portions are displaceable relative to each other in the installation direction from a pre-assembly position into a final assembly position. A bistable spring arrangement mounted on them urges the housing portions in the pre-assembly position away from each other in opposite relationship to the installation direction and in the final assembly position pulls them towards each other in the installation direction in such a way that the sealing means is pressed from the exterior against the outside surface of the bodywork.
