A vehicular light assembly (10) is held in an operative position within a liner (12) by an intermediate retainer (32) which has spring-like tongues (42). The retainer (32) is held in position on the liner (12) by fixation tabs (36) which are bent through the receiving hole (18) and pinch the liner (12) against a mounting plate (34) of the retainer (32). Segmented shoulders (46) on a sidewall (20) of the light assembly (10) are received in channels (48) on each of the tongues (42) and seat above the tips (44) of each tongue (42) to retain the light assembly (10) in its operative position. By simple application of a manual force, a service person is able to install or remove the light assembly (10) from its operative position in the liner (12). Thus, no tools are required to install or service the light assembly (10). Furthermore, the intermediate retainer (32) functions as a single unit to interconnect the liner (12) and the light assembly (10).

La présente invention se rapporte à un ensemble d'éclairage pour véhicule (10), qui est maintenu dans une position fonctionnelle à l'intérieur d'un habillage (12) par un dispositif de retenue intermédiaire (32) possédant des languettes de type ressort (42). Le dispositif de retenue (32) est maintenu en position sur l'habillage (12) par des pattes de fixation (36) incurvées, qui passent à travers le trou de réception (18) et pincent l'habillage (12) contre une plaque de montage (34) du dispositif de retenue (32). Des épaulements segmentés (46) situés sur une paroi latérale (20) de l'ensemble d'éclairage (10) sont reçus dans des canaux (48) ménagés sur chacune des languettes (42) et reposent au-dessus des extrémités (44) de chaque languette (42) afin de retenir l'ensemble d'éclairage (10) dans sa position fonctionnelle. Par la simple application d'une force manuelle, un mécanicien d'entretien peut installer l'ensemble d'éclairage (10) dans sa position fonctionnelle dans l'habillage (12) ou l'en retirer. Ainsi, aucun outil n'est nécessaire à l'installation ou à l'entretien de l'ensemble d'éclairage (10). En outre, le dispositif de retenue intermédiaire (32) fait fonction d'unité unique reliant l'habillage (12) et l'ensemble d'éclairage.
