A vehicular light assembly including a dichroic lamp, a socket, a cradle
and an optional support to mount the assembly to a vehicle. The dichroic
lamp includes a reflector which reflects light emitted by the bulb
forward but allows radiant heat to pass rearwardly through the reflector.
The dichroic lamp also includes an electrode electrically coupled with a
socket which defines at least one of a recess and an aperture, the socket
including an electrical connector. The cradle defines a chamber, and the
socket and dichroic lamp both are positioned in the chamber. The cradle
includes a locating pin that registers with the at least one of a recess
and an aperture to selectively locate the dichroic lamp within the
cradle. A related installation method includes: joining the light
assembly cradle with a vehicle, and aligning the lamp assembly so that it
focuses light on a pathway of the vehicle.
