A lamp assembly for automotive tail lamps or the like comprising a base member of a relatively soft elastomeric material, a connector of a relatively hard material adapted to be sealingly but releasably plugged into a cavity opening in one face of the base member, and a bulb socket of a relatively hard material adapted to be sealingly but releasably plugged into another cavity in the base opening in a face which is normal to the face in which the connector is received. A plurality of conductors extend in parallel fashion in the base member between the socket cavity and the connector cavity. The conductors make electrical connection at their one ends with contacts on the lower end of the socket and pass sealingly through a partition separating the two cavities where their other ends make electrical contact with terminals carried by the connector. The connector, base, and socket are effective to provide a moisture sealed lamp assembly with each assembly or reassembly.

A lamp assembly comprising: (A) a base having a peripheral wall defining a socket cavity having an opening in one face of said base; (B) a socket assembly defining a bulb cavity and including a plurality of contact elements having their one ends positioned in said bulb cavity to electrically connect

A lamp assembly comprising: (A) a base having a peripheral wall defining a socket cavity having an opening in one face of said base; (B) a socket assembly defining a bulb cavity and including a plurality of contact elements having their one ends positioned in said bulb cavity to electrically connect with a bulb inserted into said bulb cavity and having their other ends positioned at one end of said socket assembly; (C) a plurality of elongated conductors passing sealingly through said wall of said base to position their one ends in said socket cavity; (D) coacting means on said socket assembly adjacent said one end thereof and on said wall resiliently yieldable in response to insertion of said one end of said socket assembly into said socket cavity through said opening to sealingly mount said one socket assembly end in said socket cavity by effecting sealing engagement between said coacting means entirely around said socket cavity and also to connect said other ends of said contact elements in respective electrical contact with said one ends of said conductors.
