A sealing bulb boot for use in a vehicular lighting assembly comprising a boot
with a lip running along its outer perimeter and a hole at its approximate center.
The hole in the boot is generally circular in configuration with at least one notch
which allows a conventional tabbed locking mechanism of a light source, which requires
an approximate quarter turn to lock the light source to the reflector, to pass
therethrough. The outer lip of the sealing bulb boot presses around a portion of
the housing of the lighting assembly. A seal is also created around the inner portion
of the sealing bulb boot upon the insertion of the light source through the hole
at the center of the boot and the turning of the light source to engage the light
source's locking mechanism.
