UNDER HOOD AND LUGGAGE COMPARTMENT LAMP ASSEMBLY Abstract of the Disclosure An under hood and luggage compartment lamp assembly which is adapted to be positioned on a hood or luggage compartment of a vehicle. The lamp assembly comprises a plastic body which has, at one end, a first set of spaced terminals the outer ends of which extend parallel for connection to a plug of a wiring harness and at the other end a second set of spaced terminals, the outer ends of which are shaped for receiving a wedge based lamp. The inner end of the other of the first set of terminals is bent and resiliently engages the spherical contact of a mercury switch and the inner end of one of the second set of terminals is bent and engages the button contact of the mercury switch. The inner end of the first set of terminals directly engages the inner end of the other of the second set of terminals. The body is provided with projections and recesses for locating the terminals such that they can be dropped in place during assembly. A cover closes the body and mechanically locked to the body. The body further includes a first connector mounted thereon for snap engagement with an opening in the foot or luggage cover onto which it is mounted. The body further includes a second connector which is adapted to snap into a second opening but is manually disengageable therefrom as may be needed. In a modified form, the mercury switch is eliminated and the terminals that engage the mercury switch are formed straight and interconnected directly. -i-
