A lamp and socket assembly ( 10 ) comprises a housing ( 12 ) including a socket cavity ( 25 ). The socket cavity ( 25 ) is defined by side walls and a bottom wall ( 80 ). A vent hole ( 82 ) passes though the bottom wall ( 80 ) of the socket cavity. A lamp ( 16 ) has a lamp base ( 17 ). A lamp socket ( 14 ) is disposed in the socket cavity ( 25 ) and includes a through passage ( 42 ) for receiving the lamp base ( 17 ) and at least one retaining finger ( 38 a, 38 b) for retaining the lamp base ( 17 ) in the through passage ( 42 ). An electrical contact insert ( 26 ) is received in the socket cavity ( 25 ). A plurality of electrical contacts ( 28 ) are received in and retained by the contact insert ( 26 ). A plurality of blade terminals ( 46 ) are interlocked with the contact insert ( 26 ), with respective ones of the contacts ( 28 ), and with the housing ( 12 ). A hydrophobic and/or oleophobic vent patch ( 83 ) is disposed in the socket cavity ( 25 ) and completely covers the vent hole ( 82 ) to permit trapped vapors and gasses to escape while repelling water and/or oil.
