Abstract

The present invention relates to a clearance and sidemarker lamp assembly in which a three-section printed circuit board (PCB) is mounted to a threesection enclosure. The enclosure has a main center section coupled to two side sections by means of a hinge. When the enclosure is coupled to a lamp housing, the side sections are folded down and tucked behind raised retaining ribs formed in the housing. LEDs in the main center section thus provide illumination perpendicular to the lamp, while LEDs in the angled side sections provide illumination to either side of the lamp. A lens may cover the assembly in order to blend the light into a continuous arc covering 180.degree..
